This closure is part of a broader trend affecting healthcare facilities across Texas.

Local officials and healthcare advocates are calling for increased transparency and support to address the underlying issues leading to such abrupt shutdowns.
As the situation develops, further information is expected to emerge regarding the reasons behind the closure and the steps being taken to support affected staff and ensure continued healthcare access for the community.
