The hospital is also facing overall closure because of the large financial losses it incurred as a result of the pandemic, according to a Dec. 27 news release. 

Madera Community sought an affiliation agreement with Livonia, Mich.-based Trinity Health earlier this year, but the health system ultimately terminated the agreement because of requirements by the state’s attorney general. The hospital has been unable to find another partner or any additional funding.

Its Rural Health Clinics, also in Madera, will close Jan. 10. All remaining patients at the hospital will be transferred to other facilities by Jan. 17.
