Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Health has shared plans to close its Bloomin’ Babies Birth Center in Grand Junction, Colo., effective March 28.

The closure comes amid a declining birth rate and an unsustainable decrease in new patients at the freestanding birth center, according to a Feb. 17 news release.

Existing patients will be able to transition to receive care from their existing Intermountain care team or a new team at three of the system’s other OB-GYN-based clinics. 

Additionally, Grand Junction-based St. Mary’s Regional Hospital offers similar labor and delivery options to Bloomin’ Babies. 

Intermountain care navigators will work individually with each patient to ensure successful care transition, the release said. 

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.
