Bradford Regional Medical Center plans to close inpatient, emergency, and long-term care by mid-2026 due to financial and staffing issues, transitioning to outpatient services.
Bradford Regional Medical Center has announced plans to close its inpatient, emergency, and long-term care services by mid-2026, transitioning to an outpatient care model.
The move, driven by financial challenges, staffing shortages, and declining patient volumes, requires approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Health.
While the hospital will continue offering outpatient services like diagnostics, primary care, and specialty appointments, residents and officials worry about reduced access to urgent and critical care, especially in rural areas.
The transition will be phased over 12 to 18 months, with efforts underway to ensure continuity of care and support for affected staff.
