Keystone Rural Health Consortia, the owner of Mountaintop Area Medical Center, attributed the closure to a steady decline of patient volume and larger health centers opening in the area. 

“This is heartbreaking for all of us,” Keystone Rural CEO Kristie Bennardi told the Centre Daily Times. “This is the last thing we wanted to do. But, unfortunately, with all the factors playing in, we had no choice.”

Keystone Rural said its case managers can help patients find different providers in the region.
