Jenkins Hospital Closes
The Letcher County Community Hospital in Jenkins has sold to Wellmont Health Services and closed its doors for the last time. The sale and closure leaves over two dozen workers without jobs. At this time, the community is most concerned about the loss of the emergency room services. The clinic that will replace the hospital will offer some medical treatment and extended hours six days a week but no emergency room.
