After temporarily suspending operations in May, Hicksville's Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) officially closed its doors at the end of August. Now, 13 Action News is learning the hospital allegedly stole nearly $3 million from its employees' retirement. "There are a lot of people who are really upset with the situation because four thousand people relied on this place," James Siler, who has been a patient at CMH for most of his life, said. "It's an inconvenience for sure. But there are a lot of people who have it a lot worse than me that's for sure." Siler's primary care physician, Dr. Vasavi Reddy, is one of only a handful of doctors still operating out of the hospital. Reddy is employed through the Parkview Health system. "Unfortunately, there's still a lot of instability in our practice location. Right now, Parkview is renting this space for me, but we don't know the future of the building," Reddy said.
