New London Hospital Denied 24-Bed Expansion 57-Bed Facility
The Health Planning Association of Northwest Ohio rejected New London Hospital’s 928000 expansion request by a 17 to 1 vote with two abstentions. The plan would have added 24 beds, an emergency room, a recovery area and two operating rooms, funded via a pension-fund loan at 92 percent interest. Board members cited regional bed saturation and financing method as objections. The decision is subject to state and federal review before final approval.
