The hospital has been mostly shut down since March of this year, leaving only outpatient surgery, radiology and laboratory services open, according to the report.

The hospital was $1.5 million in debt at the time of the closure late last week. In total, 52 employees have been laid off, though Corcoran’s former employees can apply for positions in Adventist’s system, according to the report.

Corcoran has been open for 50 years, and its closure leaves 11,500 people without specialty or emergency care closer than 20 miles, according to the report.
