5 hospitals closing, cutting service lines

Here are five hospitals who have closed departments or ended services since Sept. 26:

  1. 25-bed critical access facility Herington (Kan.) Hospital has closed its doors, citing financial troubles and low patient volumes. 
  2. La Grange, Texas-based St. Mark's Medical Center will shutter Oct. 12 due to financial issues. The hospital can no longer sustain its $13 million of mortgage debt as revenue declines. 
  3. Six clinics run by the recently closed WIlliamston, N.C.-based Martin General Hospital will close
  4. HCA Healthcare closed New Richey, Fla.-based HCA Florida Trinity West Hospital, which was previously temporarily closed, and consolidated services to two nearby hospitals.
