The unit requires trained labor and delivery nurses to be present even when there are no patients, which is unsustainable with the hospital’s limited nursing staff, hospital officials told WGEM. 

Delivery services will be transitioned to Blessing Hospital in Quincy, Ill., hospital officials said. 

The Memorial Hospital unit is set to close Dec. 1.
