“If you are having contractions, make arrangements to visit another hospital that is providing labor and delivery services,” a Facebook post from the hospital read. “For the health and safety of you and your unborn child, it is vital that before you have adequate time to get to another hospital.”

The move comes after the hospital laid off 40 workers and halted some services, including labor and delivery, last month.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
