[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't remember if I read it here or elsewhere, but Mississippi has a number of hospital systems that are closing delivery departments. It does not look good the way things are going.[/quote] Yes, Singing River Gulfport closed theirs 4/1. They say they hope it will be temporary but we shall see. There are 4 or 5 others who have ceased operations in the state. Ochsner stopped delivering in July 2022 after the only obstetrician they had on staff left, and Greenwood Leflore closed its L&D in October 2022. DRMC, which is located in a very, very impoverished area, closed its NICU, too. Any babies needing critical treatment have to be taken about 2 hours away to the University of Mississippi hospital center. It's insane because Mississippi has the highest fetal mortality rate AND highest infant mortality rate in the entire nation! [/quote]
