ECU Health: Five clinics, behavioral health unit are closing

GREENVILLE — ECU Health is closing five clinics, including its Snow Hill and Williamston locations, and its inpatient behavioral health unit after losing $46 million during the 2022 fiscal year, the health care system said in a news release.

The $46 million loss equaled an operating margin of 2%, and ECU Health said it was mainly due to having a “disproportionate number of uninsured or underinsured patients” and the cost of travel staff.
