Employee Forums Begin as OVMC And EORH Announce Closure [View all]
WHEELING, W.V. — A series of employee forums began today concerning the impending closure of Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling and East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry.
President and CEO Daniel C. Dunmyer announced Wednesday that the two facilities will close in two to three months. He cited a $37 million loss over two years and the inability to secure a strategic partner as reasons for beginning the closure process.
Employees at OVMC and EORH learned Wednesday that the hospitals will close in 60-90 days. The closures will put about 1,200 employees out of jobs.
Forums in OVMC’s amphitheater began at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, with additional sessions scheduled for 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. The sessions were closed to the public and media.
