The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office is ordering the owners of Ellwood City Medical Center to pay all money owed and bring the hospital back into compliance or divest itself of control over the facility.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro filed a petition Monday in Lawrence County Court to compel Florida-based Americore Health LLC to pay wages, unemployment taxes and pension contributions due to approximately 150 hospital workers who have not been paid.

The petition also asks the court to hold the owners accountable for their promises and to obey the law by paying their employees and keeping the hospital open to provide crucial emergency medical services or they should be removed
