The state has no authority to deny the closure or reduction of services at Regional Medical Center as these cuts are classified as supplemental services, per sources.
Community health advocates warn the closure will disproportionately impact low-income and uninsured populations, causing longer wait times for care at the next closest hospital.
The state historically refuses to intervene in hospital decisions despite having the authority to do so to avoid public harm.
