Consolidation of hospitals on the east coast continues...BD
NEWARK — The demise of a community hospital is always painful, but residents here awoke Friday to the depressing news that two of the city’s most beloved hospitals will close in the spring.
The affected hospitals, St. James and Columbus, are institutional bedrocks in two outlying working-class neighborhoods. They will be shuttered by a Pennsylvania-based health care company that is also absorbing a larger downtown hospital, St. Michael’s Medical Center......He accused Catholic Health East, the company taking over the three-hospital system, of misleading city officials into believing that St. James and Columbus would stay open, albeit with significant restructuring.
