WARREN, Ohio - WARREN - After just one month of reopening, Insight Trumbull Hospital has shut down again.

In a statement released to 21 News on Wednesday morning, a spokesperson for Insight said they tried their best with their non-profit approach to resurrect the hospital, but are dealing with several "regulatory hurdles and barriers" from the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).

"In fact, the department's roadblocks affected the CMS certification, and then after affirming compliance with the state hospital license on October 14 prior to reopening, took additional adverse action against the hospital," the statement reads.

The spokesperson went on to say that Insight "strongly disagrees" with ODH's assessments and actions to shut down the hospital, describing them as "inaccurate accusations."

Due to this development, hospital operations are suspended and new patients are no longer being accepted until Insight is provided with a clear determination from ODH as to whether or not there is full permission and support in operating the hospital.

"Insight has submitted a response to the department and once all issues are resolved, we will be in position to chart the best plan forward," the statement reads.

The sudden closure has left employees confused.

"I don't know if we're officially laid off, furloughed, fired, transferred, I, I have no idea, but because there's, there's been no information given to me," said Tom Connelly, president of AFSCME Local 2026. "They don't give us any time to prepare here. They just closed us down."

Insight said they are waiting on guidance from ODH.

This comes after recent reports that the hospital had been accepting Medicare and Medicaid patients without Medicare accreditation, and that the hospital never regained that accreditation despite claims from U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno that it had.

Trumbull County commissioner Rick Hernandez said his focus is making sure the doors reopen, whether it's under insight or a new operator.

"We'll be making calls to different operators of hospitals, in the hopes that we could get somebody here, if it's like I said, if it's not going to be Insight, it has to be somebody that can operate this hospital at a fully staffed level," said Hernandez. "They used the word maybe. And, you know, as commissioners, we need to look out for our residents, and we need to furnish them with a hospital, a fully staffed hospital, so we will be looking."

Connelly said his trust in Insight is at an all time low.

"We've called them up, and the stuff that they've told us has either been inaccurate or falsehoods. And so I don't know how you deal with people like that," said Connelly. " It just seems to be for them too formidable a task to open this hospital."

Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno helped make reopening Insight in October a reality. 21 News reached out to Moreno for comment. He said, “For decades, establishment politicians have left Ohioans like the residents of Trumbull County behind—I ran for office to change that. My top priority will always be fighting for Ohioans in need and I will never apologize for doing everything in my power to put them first. I will continue to explore all options to make certain Trumbull County has the healthcare system and access they deserve.”
