A hospital in Maine announced it would suspend emergency-level care at its walk-in location due to a staffing shortage, coming about a week after a facility in Minnesota suspended its urgent care and emergency room service.
York Hospital said it is suspending emergency care at the Wells, Maine, facility starting Oct. 25.
"York Hospital in Wells will temporarily suspend emergency-level care," the hospital said in a statement.
"Wells Walk-In Care will continue to offer urgent care to all patients" seven days per week but won't operate 24 hours per day.
The staffing shortage, she stressed to the Portsmouth Herald, is part of a broader staffing issue that has impacted healthcare providers for the past two years around the United States and Maine.
"Liberty Counsel will also file the petition for writ of certiorari on behalf of more than 2,000 Maine health care workers asking the High Court to review the case since there is now a split in the circuits, with the First Circuit denying injunctive relief and the Second Circuit, granting injunctive relief regarding virtually identical factual and legal issues," it said.
A hospital in Minnesota announced Oct. 18 it would suspend its emergency room and urgent care services due to a nurses' strike.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
