Tarp hangs over remnants of the Madera Community Hospital sign in Madera, California on May 10, 2023. The abrupt closure of Madera Community Hospital and its affiliated medical clinics capped years of financial turmoil.

Madera Community Hospital shut its doors and by March had filed for bankruptcy. Along Highway 99, a main artery that bisects miles of farmland, Madera Community Hospital stands frozen in time.
