Franciscan Health Hammond emergency room to shut down Saturday after Indiana appellate court of stays Lake County judge’s decision
Franciscan Health Hammond is one of twenty-four hospitals nationwide participating in the BLAZE-1 antibody study to fight COVID-19.
The stay, issued Friday afternoon by Chief Judge Cale Bradford, halts a Lake County judge’s ruling that would have postponed the closure of Franciscan Health Hammond’s emergency room for nine months while the city of Hammond searched for another operator.As a result, ambulances will be diverted starting at midnight Saturday and the hospital’s ER is set to close to walk-ins at noon Saturday, according to Franciscan officials.
The decision to close the Franciscan Health Hammond emergency room at the end of the year was announced abruptly Nov. 23, leaving many Hammond city officials and residents blindsided. In November, Anderson said the hospital’s closure was a result of staffing shortages and dwindling patient numbers.
