A health care company’s decision to close a Phoenix facility where an incapacitated woman was raped and later gave birth drew criticism Feb. 8 from state officials. The closure would force numerous patients to be relocated to a new facility.

State regulators said Hacienda HealthCare’s announcement that it would shut its intermediate care facility contractually requires written consent from the state Department of Economic Security.
