Ohio hospital closes behavioral health unit

Bellaire, Ohio-based Belmont Community Hospital shuttered its behavioral health unit, according to the Wheeling News-Register.

The hospital, which is a division of Wheeling (W.Va.) Hospital, has been gradually reducing some of its services throughout the past year, Wheeling Hospital's vice president of marketing and public relations, Gregg Warren, told the publication.

"Wheeling Hospital is offering the unit's 15 employees positions within its various locations," he told the Wheeling News-Register.
