Insight emergency department abruptly closes Thursday

WARREN — Insight Hospital and Medical Center at Trumbull announced a shutdown of all medical services at the Trumbull and Hillside hospitals, which left employees and patients in the dark Thursday afternoon as operations would stop at 3 p.m.

In a memo to media outlets Thursday, a spokesperson attributed the shutdown to “additional abrupt developments” in Steward Health Care’s bankruptcy proceedings and what the hospital described as “mounting lack of transferred dollars” owed for care provided to patients at the Trumbull and Hillside facilities.

The news is the latest in a series of announcements regarding layoffs and cut services throughout the month.
