A South Bay hospital plans to close its inpatient psychiatric facility next month, leaving patients concerned and state leaders searching for options.
They released the following statement Sunday:
“Good Samaritan has done everything in its power to staff the behavioral health unit, including a telehealth option. Unfortunately, in the post-pandemic, healthcare ecosystem, we can’t find qualified staffing for this unit.”“These are expensive operations, in terms of costs and investment. But the private sector needs to pull its weight and not be in it just for the profits. I think that’s the problem,” said California State Sen. Dave Cortese.
Cortese says he’s working with the Governor Gavin Newsom’s office to see if more can be done to keep the 18 beds open.
