Sharon Regional Medical Center set to reopen Tuesday under new ownership
Sharon Regional Medical Center, closed in early January after the bankruptcy of its former corporate owners, will be reopening Tuesday.
The hospital, under the ownership of California-based Tenor Health, received the regulatory go-ahead from the Pennsylvania Department of Health late Friday. Tenor Health, which has been in preparation for the reopening for two months, held a community event Sunday.
'It was a full house today at Sharon Regional Medical Center as we came together to celebrate a new chapter for this local community hospital,' state Sen. Michele Brooks, R-50th District, said Sunday on Facebook. 'Opening Tuesday!'
Sharon Regional Medical Center closed on Jan. 5 despite efforts from the Shapiro administration and others to keep it open. The 163-bed hospital employed 800 people. But even amid its closing, Tenor Health — a hospital management company — had been working with the owner of the property, Medical Properties Trust, and others to reopen the hospital.

Sea lions released back into Pacific Ocean as toxic algal blooms move out of Southern California
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Scripps scientists have confirmed that the harmful algal blooms (HABs) that have been responsible for sickening hundreds of marine mammals in the Pacific Ocean along the California coast this spring have moved out of the area, and rescue organizations in Southern California have been busy releasing the last of the rehabilitated sea lions. Scientists with Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego report the harmful algal blooms (HABs) that produce domoic acid — which accumulates in fish and shellfish, sickening sea lions, dolphins and birds that eat them, and overwhelming local rescue organizations — are gone. California sea lions are getting sick, but what's causing it? SeaWorld San Diego Rescue teams this past spring were getting upwards of 100 calls per day for sea life in need of help as a result of the toxic algal blooms. According to the County of Los Angeles, four injured sea lion pups — Brownie, Sprinkles, Peachick and Spiderling — that were rehabilitated and cared for by the Marine Mammal Care Center, were recently released at Venice Beach with help from the Los Angeles County Fire Department Lifeguard Division and marine mammal experts. In San Diego, the SeaWorld San Diego Rescue team said the last seal lion suffering from domoic acid poisoning, and rehabilitated at SeaWorld, was returned to the Pacific Ocean on May 30.

Julianne Hough documents egg freezing process
Julianne Hough has undergone egg freezing treatment for the third time. The Dancing With the Stars co-presenter - who revealed in 2008 she has endometriosis, a condition where tissue grows outside of the womb lining - thinks it is important to be transparent about her fertility journey in the hope she can help other women. She wrote on Instagram: "I just want to take a moment to say thank you to Dr. Carolyn Alexander and the incredible team at SCRC. Navigating fertility is never simple, especially with endometriosis and my own personal timeline and hopes around having children… but with them, I've always felt safe, supported, and fully informed. "This is my third round of egg freezing and I know it's not always the most comfortable thing to talk about, let alone share publicly. But I've realized how important it is to open up about these things. Women all over the world are quietly walking into doctors' offices, making huge, brave decisions about their bodies and their futures. It's one of the most vulnerable experiences… physically, emotionally, and for sure hormonally. "If sharing just a small piece of my journey helps someone feel less alone, or inspires them to ask questions and explore what's right for them, then I feel like it's worth it. I truly couldn't be more grateful for this team who's been with me since my second endometriosis laparoscopy surgery back in 2017… they've been like family ever since [yellow heart emoji] (sic)" The 36-year-old dancer accompanied the post with a video documenting the process, which included her injecting her stomach to stimulate her folicles to produce more eggs, and also a "trigger shot" to release them. On the sixth day of the process, she said: "Just woke up, hormones are kicking in, my boobs are getting bigger, everything is happening." She also showed her bloated stomach, a side effect from the treatment. She said: "Look. It's like a little pregger belly. Cutie."
