In an effort to ensure that the Brooks-TLC Hospital System is sustainable and can serve the region for many years to come the Brooks-TLC Hospital System Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to close the TLC/Lakeshore Health Center Campus (TLC Campus), Irving, NY, January 1, 2020, pending patient transfers.
The closure impacts all services at the TLC Campus including the Emergency Department.
Full 24/7 emergency services will continue to be provided at the Brooks Campus, Dunkirk.
The announcement does not affect The Gowanda Urgent Care and Medical Center or TLC chemical dependency clinics in Derby and Cassadaga, which will remain open.
Further communications will occur as we finalize closure plans.
In the meantime, should you have any questions relative to the closure or emergency services at the TLC Campus please feel free to call us at 716-363-3313.
