Starting on July 1, Cleveland Clinic's Marymount Hospital in Garfield Heights, Ohio, will no longer deliver babies, according to a Plain Dealer news report.
All babies that would have been delivered at Marymount will now be delivered at either Fairview Hospital in Cleveland or Hillcrest Hospital in Mayfield Heights. Marymount President David Kilarski said the shift in baby deliveries is a result of a changing population. In just four years, the number of deliveries at Marymount has declined 30 percent, he said. In 2010, Marymount delivered less than 700 babies. Meanwhile, Hillcrest and Fairview delivered more than 8,000 babies combined.
Although Marymount will no longer be delivering babies, it will still offer prenatal care, consultation for high-risk pregnancies and childbirth education for women at the hospital's Birth Place.
