Geary Community Hospital is closing its intensive care unit by Feb. 1, hospital officials announced Monday. “Due to a national COVID-19-exacerbated nursing shortage, as well as fiscal situations beyond our control, Geary Community Hospital can no longer effectively operate an intensive care unit (ICU),” officials said in a written statement released Monday afternoon. “We assure you closing a unit of the hospital is not an easy decision, and we understand how this impacts the community.”
