Cumberland River Hospital in Clay County temporarily closed its doors on Friday. The hospital’s owner and CEO, Johnny Presley, did not say when the hospital in Celina may re-open. In a letter Presley stated, “Due to unprecedented circumstances of unexpected non-reimbursements for provided services as well as severe staffing shortages, secondary to the Coronavirus pandemic, we are forced with an ill reality of a temporary hospital closure and placing our license in a temporary inactive status.” The hospital had shut down in 2019 and Mr. Presley had re-opened it in April of this year.
