Thursday night, signs showed up attached to the doors of the Cleveland Regional Medical Center. Now, residents must travel to other hospitals in other communities to get care.
This worries locals because the longer the distance, they believe could impact their health.
This would also effect the EMS system as a whole, lengthening travel times for patients to receive care.
The hospital plans to release more information on the closing later today.
