The hospital stopped accepting additional admissions for behavioral health services June 6 but will continue to care for current inpatients while working to transfer them to other facilities, the report said.

The hospital will also be eliminating 157 positions across a variety of service areas, including full-time, part-time and PRN roles. This reduction will account for 5.5 percent of the hospital’s total workforce.
