Hospital Ordered To Stop Accepting Patients

(Pawtucket, RI)  --  State officials are ordering Memorial Hospital in Pawtucket to stop admitting patients and performing surgeries.  The move is being made due to low staffing at the financially troubled facility.  The hospital is licensed for 290 beds but in recent months has only had as many as 20 patients.  A public meeting about the proposed closing of the hospital's emergency department will be held Monday at Lyman B. Goff Middle School at 5 p.m.
