all-free-download.com

The Adventist Healthcare facility in Cambridge is shutting its doors.

That means the acute care and residential unit will lay off around 90 employees as of November 30th.

The facility also provides a special education day school for children.

Executive Director Ismael Gama told WBOC that the decision to temporarily de-license the facility is aimed at re-evaluating its relationship with Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.

Gama said those services at the center will now be available elsewhere in the area.

For displaced employees he added that efforts will be made to find places at other Adventist facilities.
