A closure date is not known yet. 

“This situation is still fluid as we work through opportunities for staff,” Todd Seip, Parkview’s public information officer, told the publication. “Parkview will work with staff to look at other opportunities within the organization, and if this is not possible, employees will receive a severance package.”

The outpatient behavioral practice and the adult psych rehab program will continue, Mr. Seip said.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
