Cancer Center In Las Cruces To Close Its Doors
A Texas-based cancer center is closing its Las Cruces branch. The decision to shutter the Southern New Mexico Cancer Center on Nov. 30 will affect about 100 patients from Las Cruces, Deming, Silver City and Alamogordo as well as 25 employees, including two physicians. A third physician had already left the center.
Practice administrator Scott Orjada confirmed the closure Tuesday.
He told the Las Cruces Sun-News the decision was economic and had to do with changes in regulations that have put pressure on a lot of providers.
The move leaves Las Cruces with two cancer treatment centers.
