After 68 years of offering maternity and obstetric services, the hospital decided to stop delivering babies due to a decline in volume. The hospital will now offer ambulance services to bring mothers in labor to a larger hospital, such as Covenant Hospital in Plainview, Texas, and University Medical Center in Lubbock, Texas, according to the report.
In the absence of maternity care, the hospital plans to bolster its other services, according to the report.
