布拉德福德区域医疗中心已宣布计划在2026年年中关闭其住院、急诊和长期护理服务,向门诊治疗模式过渡。 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. 由于财政困难、人员短缺和病人数量不断减少,这项行动需要得到宾夕法尼亚州卫生部的批准。 The move, driven by financial challenges, staffing shortages, and declining patient volumes, requires approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Health. 医院将继续提供诊断、初级保健和专科预约等门诊服务,但居民和官员担心获得紧急和关键护理的机会减少,特别是在农村地区。 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. 过渡将分12至18个月分阶段进行,并正在努力确保对受影响的工作人员的护理和支助的连续性。 The transition will be phased over 12 to 18 months, with efforts underway to ensure continuity of care and support for affected staff.
