GREENFIELD––Adair County Health System (ACHS), managed by MercyOne, sustained substantial damage during the May 21 tornadic storms, requiring evacuation of staff and patients and a temporary facility closure.
Staff and patients at ACHS were evacuated to area hospitals. There were no injuries to staff or patients inside the hospital during the storm. The hospital was closed immediately after the tornado, which devastated the town of Greenfield, passed through. It will remain closed until further assessments can be completed. It is likely to take weeks, if not months, to fully repair the damage.
