Ogdensburg, N.Y.-based North Star Health Alliance said it plans to submit a closure plan to the New York State Department of Health for the sleep center at Carthage (N.Y.) Area Hospital, and primary care and physical therapy services at Philadelphia (N.Y.) Health Center, according to a July 17 notice shared with Becker’s.
A public hearing regarding the closures will be held July 28 to provide the rationale for the request, expected transition process and plans to maintain care continuity for patients.
North Star sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February and has been working to stabilize and restructure the system.
It shared plans in late June to close its North Country Orthopaedic Ambulatory Surgery Center and its North Country Orthopaedic Group, both in Watertown, N.Y. The health system also shared plans in mid-July to close labor and delivery services at its Claxton-Hepburn Medical Campus in Ogdensburg and transition obstetrical services within the Claxton-Hepburn Women’s Health Clinic.
