Abandoned Hospital With Everything Left Behind After Financial Collapse

Problems for this now abandoned hospital initially surfaced back in 2018 when officials announced that they were experiencing financial turmoil. Back then, the hospital which had been in operation for over 80 years, had been quietly sold to an another company, which was all part of a desperate act to try and save the hospital from permanently closing. By the following year in 2019, the majority of the hospital staff realized that big trouble was on the horizon when staff layoffs started coming in. Officials admitted that yes, they are cutting some their staff, but at the same time, they vowed not to close the doors. Amidst the hospital’s financial turmoil, reports of unpaid water and electricity bills suddenly began to stack up. When hospital officials tried to get in contact with their new parent company that purchased the ill-fated hospital just one year prior, messages went unanswered and phones numbers were now suddenly disconnected. 
For months, nurses spent their own money to buy supplies for the emergency room or buy meals for patients who were hungry after the hospital had run out of food. They had all hoped that this was only temporary, however, little did the staff know that their income would soon be greatly affected as paychecks began to be delayed and in some cases, not given at all. It was at this point, that many of the hospital staff learned the cold hard facts and that the new owners had been hiding a dark secret.  
The truth was the hospital was in deep financial trouble, as they had lost all federal and state funding dollars including both Medicare and Medicaid, inevitably sealing their certain doom, which unfortunately happened just weeks later. 
Adding to the shock of the closing, and to pour salt on already open wounds, the hospital owners then failed to send the employees income tax withholdings to the IRS, which meant that many of the employees were now being audited by the federal government and had serious roadblocks when trying to apply for unemployment benefits. The shady hospital owners even tried to blame their money woes on a mistake when they switched to a new electronic billing service last year that resulted in a backlog of unpaid claims, but the people knew better. 
The hospital officially closed in 2019 due to a combination of factors, but the primary reasons were the ongoing financial struggles, especially the loss of the all too vital federal funding. The hospital faced increasing mounting debt, resulting in serious struggles to even pay their monthly bills and biweekly payroll. The major blow being the loss of the Medicare and Medicaid dollars, which accounted for a significant portion of the hospital’s overall revenue stream. The hospital’s state and federal funding was eventually suspended after they failed to meet the compliance requirements, including major issues with owing vendors over $4 million, and withholding their employees taxes, as we mentioned above. 
Perhaps the saddest part to the story is that this hospital was located in one of the state’s poorest counties and now that it’s only hospital has permanently closed, people in need of medical care now have to drive nearly an hour away to find the next nearest hospital. 
As of 2026, the old hospital continues to sit abandoned as it slowly deteriorates while awaiting another chance at life.
We can only hope that this entire situation can serve as a learning lesson for the future of all medical care in America.
