Nearly 700 workers at Insight-owned facilities in Trumbull County have spent the past two weeks seeking a sign of hope from their leaders, as some layoffs have led to complete shutdowns without pay.
 
 
During a meeting on Tuesday, Trumbull County commissioners said they have been making phone calls to Insight and state leaders to get answers, but they too have been kept in the dark.
 
"I reached out to our state reps, I reached out to Senator [Jon] Husted, I reached out to the governor's office myself," Trumbull County Commissioner , Denny Malloy said. 
 
"We called a U.S. senators office. I mean, you know we tried. I mean, we got no response from anybody. I learned more from [Denny Malloy] than anybody," Tony Bernard, Trumbull County commissioner said. 
 
Warren Mayor Doug Franklin has not spoken publicly and did not return calls from 21 News. However, his secretary said that he has been in meetings with Insight.
 
Warren city council members told 21 News that they are waiting on guidance from the mayor before formulating a plan to address "unfair tactics being used by Steward Health to paralyze local health systems."
 
Congressman Michael Rulli, said in a statement that he is "willing to work with all parties to find a solution that keeps the hospital's doors open and well-paying jobs available."
 
Congressman Dave Joyce issued a similar statement, without offering specifics.

Neither Governor Mike DeWine, Senator Sandra O'Brien nor U.S. Senator Jon Husted responded. 
 
State representative Nick Santucci issued a statement saying: 
 
“I’m aware of the challenging situation unfolding at Insight Hospital and Trumbull Medical Center and the profound impact it is having on hundreds of employees and their families. I am actively working with the Governor’s office and the hospital’s leadership to find a solution. My thoughts are with all those affected, and I remain fully committed to helping secure a positive outcome. For those in need, I encourage you to visit the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services for immediate support and resources.”

Senator Bernie Moreno's office sent a form email that never mentioned the hospital or Trumbull County, but touted Moreno's willingness to listen to concerns.
