(Columbus, IN) – Columbus Regional Health (CRH) is permanently laying off 50 employees as part of a significant restructuring.
The hospital cites ongoing financial hardships behind the closing of several units and programs.
Services being discontinued include the athletic trainer program for local schools such as IU Columbus, the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation, and Flatrock-Haw Creek Schools.
The hospital is also shuttering its Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, as well as outpatient practice, and CRH Orthopedics.
