WARREN -- In addition to Trumbull Regional Medical Center and Hillside Rehabilitation Hospital, Steward Health Care plans to close several satellite facilities in Trumbull and Mahoning counties, according to documents in the company's bankruptcy case.
The Dallas-based company, which announced the closure Wednesday afternoon, plans to wind down operations no later than Sept. 20, according to a court document.
The additional facilities are:
– Steward Health Center, Austintown Imaging, 20 Ohltown Road, Austintown.
– Steward Health Center, Elm Road, the Center for Radiology, 2586 Elm Road, Cortland.
– Trumbull Regional Medical Center for Surgery, 2580 Elm Road, Cortland.
– Trumbull Regional Medical Center Sleep Lab, 8747 Squires Lane, Howland
– Austintown Rehabilitation Services, 1450 S. Canfield Niles Road
– Elm Road Rehabilitation Services, 2598 Elm Road, Cortland
Steward Health filed for Chapter 11 protection listing billions in debt May 6. The move to shutter the local facilities comes despite exhaustive efforts to sell or transition the facilities to new operators, there have been no actionable offers received, according to Steward.
"Therefore, due to our significant cash constraints we are now in the regrettable, but unavoidable situation where the process of closing the facilities must begin," a spokeswoman said in an emailed statement Wednesday. "We remain hopeful we can find an alternative solution that would keep the hospitals open and preserve the jobs of our dedicated team members. We want to help save these hospitals and will continue to work with qualified bidders during this process."
Meanwhile, nothing has been decided regarding Sharon Regional Medical Center in Sharon, Pa., another Steward Health-owned hospital, according to the spokeswoman.
