Mercy Hospital in Independence, Kansas is scheduled to shut down all inpatient services, the emergency department and ambulatory surgery on Friday, October 9 at 9 P.M. There are a couple of efforts in the works to provide continuing hospital service in Independence.

Two weeks ago, Coffeyville Regional Medical Center Chief Executive Director Mark Woodring presented a proposal and now, the Labette Health Board of Trustees is in negotiations with the city of Independence and Mercy Hospital. Any and all negotiations are subject to the approval of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and CMS.
