Compass Medical shuts down permanently.
Compass Medical, a healthcare provider with six offices in Massachusetts, has abruptly closed down, leaving thousands of patients confused and without explanation. The company cited a "steady stream of challenges" for the closure, including a $16 million lawsuit loss last year. Patients have expressed their disappointment and frustration with the way the closure was handled, and the Department of Public Health has expressed concerns and reached out to the company for answers. Other healthcare practices have offered to take on any staff let go by the closure.
