The emergency room in Lake Placid could soon be closing its doors. According to the Adirondack Daily Enterprise, Adirondack Health, which operates the ER at the Lake Placid Health and Medical Fitness Center, submitted a closure plan to the state Thursday. The move comes as the hospital faces inflation and pandemic-related staffing issues that have contributed to a $10 million deficit this year. The letter attributes the ER’s imminent closure to the rising cost of “doing business.”
