Johnstown Heights Behavioral Health

Johnstown Heights Behavioral Health, a 92-bed behavioral health facility in Johnstown, Colorado, will close on March 31 and, according to a Jan. 30 WARN notice, will lay off all 158 employees. The closure was attributed by CEO Sabrina Gibson to shifting referral and reimbursement trends, patient census and acuity, bed expansions and new facilities closer to major population centers. The WARN filing lists staff including nearly 30 registered nurses, seven therapists and more than 50 behavioral health associates among those affected. The facility said it will coordinate a safe, compassionate transition of patients to alternative care providers.
