the baylor health care system will close its 71-bed hospital in southwest fort worth this spring and consolidate services at its larger hospital in fort worth's medical district, a baylor official said thursday.

baylor medical center at southwest fort worth was losing money and was admitting just five to 10 patients a day, which prompted the decision to shut it down, said steve newton, president for the western region of the baylor health care system. the hospital, at 7100 oakmont blvd., will close its doors by may 4.

baylor southwest "has always been a small hospital," newton said. "our downtown campus is just 15 minutes away, and we can very easily absorb the clinical activity there. it just isn't viable to have so little activity so close by."
