Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital announced it will be closing in a press release earlier this week.

Officials wrote in a press release that for the past year, the hospital has been trying to troubleshoot options to keep doors open, but that ultimately they were “not enough to effectively operate in an environment that has multiple acute care facilities competing for the same patients, providers and services.” The hospital is located about a half hour from Huntington in Ashland, Kentucky. Other local facilities include Marshall Health and King’s Daughters Medical Center
