Grady Memorial closes labor unit
OhioHealth closed its labor and delivery department at Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware, citing low demand, which led to the loss of 37 jobs and reduced local access to obstetric care. Critics, including healthcare professionals and community advocates, argue that the closure jeopardizes maternal and neonatal health, especially for high-risk pregnancies, and reflects a broader trend of hospital consolidations reducing community healthcare resources. OhioHealth maintains that emergency services are still available at Grady and plans to enhance gynecologic services through new specialty clinics.
