We live near Hot Springs and my husband uses that hospital.
It is closing down even though no one has admitted publicly to it.
There is only 1 doctor, no radiologists, multiple pharmacy techs have left due to cut backs.
This hospital pulls patients from Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota.
It is a very long drive for many to even reach this hospital.

Sturges (Ft Meade VA Hosp) is around 100 miles from here so add that to the distance to drive.

Ft Meade was already overwhelmed before this started.

Btw there is already a sale listing for Hot Springs Hospital ( as the powers that be keep lying to us about it not closing)!
