Local officials expressed concern Tuesday over the challenges facing Columbus Regional Health and other hospitals across much of the state and country as the health care industry grapples with deepening uncertainty surrounding government funding, changes to reimbursement rates and other factors.

The comments come after CRH announced plans in recent days to lay off up to 50 workers, close two practices and end its sports medicine program, citing what hospital officials described as “unprecedented challenges and financial hardships.”

The practices include CRH’s Inpatient Rehabilitation Unit, which is described on its website as a specialized unit focusing on rehab services for strokes, amputations, brain and spinal cord injuries, orthopedic procedures and other debilitating conditions.

The layoffs also include staff at CRH’s Orthopedics and Sports Medicine practice. The county-owned hospital announced last week that it planned to close the practice and end its athletic trainer program with the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp., Flat Rock-Hawcreek School Corp. and IU Columbus.
