down after attempts to find a new buyer for the hospital failed.
A memo explaining the closure process was distributed to hospital employees Tuesday morning during a meeting to break the news to staff. The memo stated the decision to close the hospital comes after more than a year of searching for a buyer. Several parties reportedly expressed interest in the struggling hospital, but none of the discussions came to fruition.
