The Rome News Tribune and Hometown Headlines reported on Thursday that more doctors are leaving Harbin Clinic and going to AdventHealth in what has been described as a “growing rift”due to the merger of Harbin Clinic with AtriumHealth Floyd.

AdventHealth Redmond has announced that they are opening the Advent Medical Group Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology in July of this year, but the location of the new practice has not been released publicly.  Drs. Chris Merritt and Himanshu Patel are the latest doctors to announce that they are leaving Harbin Clinic for Redmond.  It was reported that a vote was taken among Harbin Doctors on Wednesday of this week to discuss non-competition agreements and that vote “did not go well”.

A deadline had been set for today for Harbin doctors to sign with AtriumHealth Floyd – that deadline has been extended to Monday, according to the Rome media outlets.
