位于马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德的慈悲医疗中心将暂停其家庭生活中心的产妇和新生儿服务,从12月8日开始,原因是尽管在征聘方面作出了努力,但工作人员仍然短缺。 Mercy Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, will temporarily suspend maternity and newborn services at its Family Life Center starting December 8 due to ongoing staffing shortages, despite recruitment efforts. 该医院将与海湾国家医疗中心合作分娩和医院护理,同时在门诊地点继续提供产前和产后服务。 The hospital will partner with Baystate Medical Center for deliveries and hospital-based care, while continuing prenatal and postnatal services at outpatient locations. 马萨诸塞州护士协会指责母组织Trinity Health没有填补空缺和提供低于市场水平的工资,造成工作人员自然减员。 The Massachusetts Nurses Association blames Trinity Health, the parent organization, for failing to fill vacancies and offering below-market wages, contributing to staff attrition. 该决定是在财政挑战之后作出的,包括2024年损失2 980万美元,并担心暂时停顿会成为永久性的,从而进一步限制了该区域获得孕产妇护理的机会。 The decision follows financial challenges, including a $29.8 million loss in 2024, and concerns that the temporary pause could become permanent, further limiting maternal care access in the region.
