Closure of the Inpatient Maternity Unit

UMass Memorial Health and HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital, like all providers in the Commonwealth, must adjust how we deliver care to our valued patients. Because maternity care is highly specialized, it has been challenging to consistently staff the unit despite our attempts to recruit and retain caregivers in that region. This, along with the declining number of deliveries at the hospital, has impacted the unit's ability to provide labor and delivery care to our patients.
