“We will be working with impacted associates to determine potential opportunities for transitioning to other positions and sites of care across Ascension Genesys,” the hospital told the publication. “Ascension Genesys is committed to caring for our Mid-Michigan communities as we continually evaluate and explore strategic options for most effectively fulfilling our Mission of caring for all with special attention to those most vulnerable.”
Pediatric emergency care services will still be available. The closure will not affect the hospital’s birthing center or obstetric care services.
