They didn’t pay their staff or their bills! ABRUPTLY closed Sharon Regional Medical Center - PA

Hey guys, I'm at Sharon Regional Health System here in Sharon, PA. This place shut down operations two days ago, just this past Friday. This is Sunday, November 8th, and then they shut down on Friday, November 6th. So what happened was they were not paying their utility bills, they were not paying their workers. And the Pennsylvania Department of Health revoked their license and shut them down. And this comes just after the maternity ward at St. Joe's in Warren shut down or threatened to be moved to Boardman. So, yeah, there's a lot of there's a lot of hospital problems here in the Mahoning Valley. Um... I'm just here to report and just get on the scene, see what's going on. So yeah, let's go walk around and see what we can find. Interesting architecture, though. It's the education building. Yeah, there it is. Closed. Sharon Regional Health System. Trumbull Memorial is closed, too. These guys were under, oh, along with that Mercy in, was it Mercy in Youngstown? Oh, one of the ones in Youngstown, a big one in Youngstown closed. I forget the name of it now. So yeah, so this, uh, this place was recently owned by Tenor Health. Um, they were only owned by Tenor or Tenor. I don't know how to really say it, but they were only owned by them for about 20 months. And before that they were, they were owned by Steward Health, which that's the same place that owned, um, Trumbull County Health. Are people still here? Hospitals are creepy. Scary. Generators. Generators. I wonder what that's about. So they're running off a generator, right? Oh, they're running off a generator because their utilities were shut off and they probably still have to like get some things out of there. Keep the power on for, for, for some reason. And the heck? Boy, talk about creepy. This is the helicopter pad. I thought this was, um, I actually thought this was, um, like a playground or something. He was real respectful about it. He didn't yell at you. You know what I mean? He was told to not film back there by the power stuff. He said that we could film, um, like whatever else, um, I guess out, out here. But yeah, I guess this was, um, this was the education building. Oh, you could go down here. Whoa, whoa, that's a dead plant. There's some teacher's office or something. Like this little area down here. Full of weeds though. They really weren't uh taking care of it when it was even operating. Ticket booth. I mean parking tickets I'm assuming. Well we're gonna see if we can walk around um around this side and see if there's something to see on over there. This looks like a walkway. Preserved for radiology. Covered up the signs here already. There's a big with a big plastic bag. What do you guys think of this? A lot of loss of hospitals around this area. I heard this place had a cardiac cath lab, and that some of the surrounding hospitals in PA don't have that. Um, but I think that, I'm pretty sure Youngstown has one. Like, that would be a big loss for, uh, for this place. Look at that. All closed. Flowers. Okay, so that's pretty much... Oh, I got that Walgreens film last year! You guys remember that? It's so open, except I don't think so. There's this side of it. I wonder if this will do anything. I hope so. We got the Walgreens, the hospital, and the Brighton. And I'm not going to bother with it because it's all shattered. You can't see anything at all. But it's just an FYI. Well, this is pretty devastating here in Sharon, right? And that will complete my tour at the just recently closed Sharon Hospital. I really hope somebody will come in and take over. I hate to see this. Hopefully something happens because it's just too many hospitals being lost in this area. It's just such a shame. All right, so I hope you guys enjoyed it, and I'll see you on the next video.
