This is a great loss for the community, both in terms of providing health care and providing jobs to our citizens. I stand ready both to assist the displaced workers to access resources that can be of help to them at this troubling time, and to continue to look for solutions to the growing problem that our rural hospitals are facing. It is always of great concern when we have a direct impact to access of health care as a result of the loss of a local hospital facility. Accordingly, I am working with the local officials as we explore all possibilities to increase access to health care in Lee County.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
