Several services are affected, including the hospital in Wallkill, which will no longer have an operating room nurse on staff overnight, and routine OB/GYN rheumatology and pediatric care will no longer be offered at their locations in Middletown, Monticello, and Harris.
OB/GYN patients in or past their second trimester are not immediately impacted and will still receive delivery and postpartum care.
Garnet said in a letter to staff that the changes are because of “unavoidable influences” affecting the healthcare system.
