Jellico Regional has been on diversion, but after the CEO resigned and the company that ran the hospital — Oxford, Miss.-based Progressive Health Group — pulled out, CMS intervened to officially shut the hospital down, Jellico Mayor Terry Sandy told ABC affiliate WATE.
The hospital temporarily suspended services due to a staffing shortage in December, according to WYMT. The facility will remain closed until Campbell County can find another entity to take over management duties.
