Tower Health, a regional Pennsylvania health care system, issued a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice this week in anticipation of closing one of its hospitals. It is one of many financial moves the system is making.

“Early in the pandemic, the government mandated the shutdown of all nonessential health care services,” Richard Wells, Tower Health communications and government relations director told The Epoch Times in a phone interview. “It had a huge negative impact on our financial performance.”
