Texas Rural Hospital in Cleveland is set to reopen within the next week after it abruptly closed its doors the week of May 12 due to funding shortages, KIAH reported May 15.
The hospital’s lease agreement with Cleveland-based Emergency Hospital Systems, a community emergency hospital system, ended in March 2025. It then gained new ownership under HealCrest Network, a spokesperson for EHS said in a May 14 statement shared with Becker’s.
Hospital employees told KIAH that they did not receive pay on May 9; however, the hospital said it plans to repay them in the coming days.
In 2022, Emergency Hospital Systems consolidated its Cleveland Emergency Hospital to Texas Rural Hospital.
Becker’s has attempted to contact Texas Rural Hospital and will update this story should more information become available.
