A tough year just got even tougher for many medical professionals in Missouri as two hospital locations are closing resulting in 154 people losing their jobs.

I saw this news shared by Beckers Hospital Review about two Missouri hospitals shutting their doors forever. One location is in Kansas City while the other is in Liberty, Missouri. It's Signature Psychiatric Hospital deciding to shut those two facilities down.

These closings are confirmed by a letter posted that was sent to the Missouri Department of Higher Education & Workforce Development in Jefferson City, Missouri. Their CEO cited "recent circumstances" as the cause for the closure and said that Signature Psychiatric Hospital located at 2900 Clay Edwards Dr., Kansas City, MO 64116- and 2525 Glenn Hendren Dr, Liberty MO, will be completely and permanently closing on or about November 12, 2024.

Sadly, the closing of these two Missouri facilities will result in many layoffs. The letter to the state of Missouri said "its closing will result in termination of employment for all the facility’s 124 Full time employees and 30 Part-Time employees beginning on or about the fourteen-day period beginning November 12, 2024".

As this is a developing story, it will be updated once new information is learned about the reason for the closures of these two Missouri medical facilities.
