COLUMBUS— Majority Whip Nick Santucci (R-Niles) has released a statement in response to the recent news of Insight Hospital and Medical Center Trumbull no longer accepting new patients after claims of Steward Health Care not honoring a transition services agreement after Steward Health Care filed for bankruptcy. Santucci has the following to say about the developing situation: 

“I am aware that Insight Hospital and Medical Center Trumbull is currently not accepting new inpatient admissions due to ongoing challenges related to Steward Health Care’s bankruptcy proceedings. My office has been in communication with hospital representatives to stay informed about the situation and understand the impact on our community. 

“Ensuring access to quality healthcare in Trumbull County is a top priority, and I encourage Insight to work closely with the Ohio Department of Health to identify solutions that will allow the state to provide necessary support.  

“My office stands ready to assist where appropriate to help protect healthcare access for the residents of our region. I will continue monitoring this situation closely and advocating for the best possible outcome for our community.”
