Employees were notified Friday morning, November 17, the Lakeland Community hospital would close on December 31.<\/p>\n

Washington, D.C. \u2014 Congressman Robert Aderholt today released the following statement after learning that Lakeland Hospital in Haleyville, Alabama will close at the end of this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am deeply saddened to learn of the closing of Lakeland Hospital. \u00a0As the only hospital in Winston County, its closure will be felt far outside of Haleyville. \u00a0In addition to the Haleyville community, and the entire area being impacted, dozens of people will lose their jobs at what should be a joyous time of year.<\/p>\n

“I am reaching out to the mayor and other local leaders to see how my office can best help find a solution to this closure.<\/p>\n

\u201cObamacare continues to lead to fewer choices and fewer hospitals, particularly in rural America. \u00a0This makes the fact the House passed a repeal plan this year only to see it fail in the Senate, all the more disappointing and devastating.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to hospital officials, approximately 87 employees will be affected. Lakeland employees will be given priority to fill open positions at other area hospitals in the same network and employees will be assisted in identifying other healthcare entities in the area when seeking employment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
