The three-bed Homer G. Phillips Memorial Hospital in north St. Louis could soon lose its license for good. The troubled facility opened in January 2024 but closed in December when the state found it didn't have enough blood on hand. Hospital officials at the time said the closure was temporary but in late February sent many employees emails saying their jobs at the hospital had been eliminated. The state Department of Health and Senior Services says the hospital will lose its license next week if it doesn't send the state a plan to correct its deficiencies and allow regulators to conduct a site inspection.
