“While childbirths have steadily decreased nationally over the past decade, the decline is even greater in our region due to a reduced number of women of childbearing age,” Angie Swearingen, COO of St. Mary’s Medical Center, said in a statement shared with WSAZ. “As such, the SMMC obstetrics unit will transition to a medical/surgical department with a focus on women’s health.”
