In a significant change for expectant families in the region, Mercy Health has announced that all obstetric labor and delivery services currently offered at Mercy Health-West Hospital will be relocated to Mercy Health-Anderson Hospital effective December 20. This decision marks a pivotal shift in the healthcare landscape for the community, as families will now need to travel to Anderson for these critical services.
The transition aims to streamline operations and enhance the quality of care provided to mothers and newborns. Mercy Health officials have emphasized that the move is intended to consolidate resources and improve patient outcomes by centralizing labor and delivery services in a facility designed to accommodate a higher volume of births.
Patients and families are encouraged to reach out to their healthcare providers for more information on the transition and what it means for their upcoming deliveries. Mercy Health remains committed to ensuring a smooth transition and providing support to those affected by the change.
