Greenwood Leflore Hospital issued a formal notice warning employees of potential large-scale layoffs. The hospital is preparing for a possible closure by June 15, complying with federal law. However, discussions continue with a larger health care system regarding a potential takeover. The 35-bed public hospital has faced serious financial challenges since the COVID-19 pandemic. A dispute with the Mississippi Division of Medicaid over outstanding debts has intensified these struggles.
