According to a LeeDaily.com article and many local news reports, nearly two dozen FBI agents recently raided Ellwood City Medical Center, the now-closed Pennsylvania hospital owned by Americore Health.
Ellwood City Mayor Anthony Court told WPXI that the agents “carried out boxes and boxes of material from the medical center” late last week. The FBI says that they are conducting law enforcement activities, but at this time the agency is not saying more.
Ellwood City Medical Center closed in December after the state banned the hospital from admitting patients for various health and safety regulations.
Years of financial trouble had plagued the hospital — the latest with Americore at the helm. Problems paying contracts, vendors, and employees have been the norm since Americore took over in 2017. Americore faced similar financial problems in Pineville, Kentucky, and Lee County, Virginia, but at this point, no FBI raids have yet been conducted at or related to these facilities.
Americore filed for bankruptcy on December 30, 2019.
In 2015, Americore owner Grant White and a Florida physician were removed from a hospital the men had taken over shortly before Florida investigators raided the facility and locked the men out. That deal eventually fell apart, and White went on to form Americore Health.
As recent as last Friday, the Medical Center social media page announced their formal closure.

Pray for the people that worked at the Elwood Medical Center I’m sure they had nothing to do with this but I do know I had surgery there in 2009 and came out with eventually losing my leg I I would like to know if there’s any way to get my records please let my now my name is Shirley sosnoski and I have many times wanted my records and wasn’t able to get them
Americore CEO Grant White, is the most self centered, unethical and incompetent healthcare executive I have ever encountered.Everything the press has published about him is true. He has no regard for the well-being of patients or staff. His only focus is the implementation of nefarious healthcare services that can be run at a low cost and have a high profit margin regardless of the healthcare needs of the community. Accurate financial records are nonexistent. Unexplained cash transfers are the norm. I could write book on all the malfeasance I have witnessed.
