The hospitals are part of Cleveland Clinic’s Weston-based Cleveland Clinic Florida.
The service changes stem from a comprehensive evaluation to optimize care delivery, focus resources on key areas and address both local and national OB-GYN staffing shortages, a spokesperson for the hospitals said in a Dec. 6 statement shared with Becker’s.
Martin North Hospital will expand its outpatient gynecological services as part of the changes. It will also recruit a minimally invasive gynecological surgeon, enhance pelvic surgery capabilities and introduce gynecological oncology and urogynecology specialized services.
Plans are also underway to make Tradition Hospital a level 3 neonatal intensive care unit. The service transition will also allow Tradition Hospital to offer fellowship-trained maternal-fetal medicine physicians and high-risk obstetrics care options.
