Louisville, Ky.-based Kindred Healthcare plans to close one of its long-term care hospitals in Philadelphia on July 21, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, which cited a filing with state regulators.
Kindred said it is closing the hospital, which has 107 employees, after failing to negotiate a renewal of its lease.
Kindred, which has another hospital in Philadelphia, said it will help patients transition to other facilities if they need care after the hospital closes.
"If any patients need continued care after the hospital closes, we will take every step necessary to help them in relocating, including arranging for requested transfers and paying for any expenses," Michele Basile, CEO of Kindred Hospitals of Philadelphia, told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
