In March, Corcoran District Hospital shut down its ED and inpatient unit, effectively ending the hospital’s run as an acute-care provider.
Corcoran District Hospital CEO Vonnie Nunes told the Hanford Sentinel the sale of the hospital’s rural clinic will allow the community to keep some access to healthcare services. Adventist may also purchase the hospital building and convert it into a clinic.
The hospital’s two remaining operating rooms will close at the end of the month, and the hospital will officially lose its Medicare certification Oct. 1, the beginning of the federal government’s new fiscal year. “We will not be operating as a hospital anymore,” Ms. Nunes said in the report. “We actually haven’t been a hospital since March.”
Adventist and Corcoran District Hospital had previously considered an affiliation or merger in 2011 but decided against it later.
