After 135 years of helping Pueblo moms to carry their unborn babies and deliver them into the world, representatives from St. Mary-Corwin Medical Center announced that the hospital will discontinue its Birth Place and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, effective Dec. 15.
The move is a 180-degree reversal from the announcement made last month by St. Mary-Corwin CEO Brian Moore, in which Moore stated the hospital would continue its birthing and labor services after a months-long stakeholder’s process called Values In Action had concluded to keep the hospital’s OB and NICU services in place.
