Hicksville, Ohio-based Community Memorial Hospital said it will temporarily suspend operations starting May 19.
In a May 17 Facebook post, the hospital said, "We are pursuing all avenues to restore operations and keep services available in the community."
In January, the hospital's CEO, Roy Davis, said Community Memorial needed $5 million to return to normal after a series of financial challenges. Mr. Davis said he would meet with U.S. congressional representatives and offices overseeing Medicare, Medicaid and health services in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 18 to inquire about assistance.
The financial difficulties stemmed from an electronic medical records conversion, according to ABC affiliate WANE reported May 17. The 2021 conversion caused Community Memorial to lose six months of revenue The hospital is also recovering from $25 million in loss due to participating in a commercial lab fraud that hurt its representation and billing abilities.
