With St. Vincent Charity Hospital ending inpatient and emergency services, the landscape of Northeast Ohio health care will see a significant change, yet again.
It’s the latest in a history of hospital shutdowns in Northeast Ohio that have impacted patients over the years.
Back in 2000, there were 42 hospitals in Northeast Ohio, according to the Cleveland Hospital Association. Those hospitals had 30 different owners. Gaynor testified before Congress in March of 2019 about the impact hospital consolidation has on Americans. He tells us in the past 20 years, there have been more than 1,600 hospital consolidations around the country.“When there are mergers, between close competitors, the quality actually deteriorates,” Gaynor said.“In fact, in Fairfax, where I do a lot of community outreach, it's more like a second or third-world country.”Gaynor reports consolidations, in general, bring lack of competition, lack of options for patients and lack of appointment times available.
