What Patients Say

Overall sentiment across review platforms: mixed

Patients praise

  • Historical perception as a friendly, community-focused hospital.
  • Positive experiences with individual providers prior to the closure of the OB unit.

Common complaints

  • Staffing shortages led to early closure of the labor and delivery program in 2018.
  • Community concerns regarding loss of continuity of care and loss of local birthing options.
  • Concerns about long-term sustainability due to low delivery volume.

"The move was made because the community hospital does not deliver enough babies to maintain a safe program, CEO Rob Allen said."

The Seattle Times (Associated Press)

"These challenges drove hospital leadership in April to propose phasing out labor and delivery... several mothers were disappointed to lose a continuity of care and testified against the closure of OB."
