What Patients Say
Overall sentiment across review platforms: mixed
Patients praise
- Historical perception as a friendly, community-focused hospital.
- Positive experiences with individual providers prior to the closure of the OB unit.
Common complaints
- Staffing shortages led to early closure of the labor and delivery program in 2018.
- Community concerns regarding loss of continuity of care and loss of local birthing options.
- Concerns about long-term sustainability due to low delivery volume.
"The move was made because the community hospital does not deliver enough babies to maintain a safe program, CEO Rob Allen said."
- The Seattle Times (Associated Press)"These challenges drove hospital leadership in April to propose phasing out labor and delivery... several mothers were disappointed to lose a continuity of care and testified against the closure of OB."
