Cooperstown, N.Y.-based Bassett Healthcare Network is closing its gym facility, FoxCare Fitness, on June 1.
After the closure, the health network will still use the gym space as a central rehabilitation facility, according to a Feb. 28 Bassett news release. The gym faced financial difficulties from the COVID-19 pandemic and increased competition in the area.
"Bassett is focusing its energy and resources on what we do best — providing excellent healthcare to our patients," Joan MacDonald, MSN, RN, vice president of operations at Oneonta, N.Y.-based A.O. Fox Hospital, said in the release. "Unfortunately, this means we have made the difficult decision to cease operations at FoxCare Fitness so we are able to redeploy our resources toward more direct patient care."
