[quote=Anonymous]OB/GYNs are avoiding the Southern states that are anti-abortion and obstructed the ACA and Medicaid expansion. Here is the 3rd Mississippi hospital to end labor and delivery because they are short of staff.

Gulfport hospital ‘suspends’ obstetric services, offers no date they will resume

Singing River Health System will stop offering labor and delivery and other obstetric services at its Gulfport hospital starting April 1, joining two other Mississippi hospitals that have recently done the same.

“Like many health systems across the nation, we currently face a shortage of OB physicians,” the statement from the hospital said. “While the decision to suspend services was not something we wanted to do, we are hopeful it is only temporary and that we can reinstate services in the near future.”

Ochsner Medical Center in Hancock County closed its labor and delivery unit in the summer of last year. In the Mississippi Delta, Greenwood Leflore Hospital announced it was eliminating its labor and delivery unit in the fall.
