Covenant to Close Iowa Heart Lab After Court Denial
Covenant Medical Center will shut its cardiac catheterization lab this week after the Iowa Supreme Court denied Covenant’s appeal to take over the lab from Allen Memorial Hospital. The 2000 partnership ended this month and a certificate of need was not pursued. Covenant officials vow to continue pursuing control of the lab. Allen contends Covenant violated a contract clause restricting a competing lab within 35 miles for one year. The Iowa Department of Public Health certificate of need board was asked to review the issue.
