We've been following the recent announcements that hospitals in Fosston and New Prague will end their birthing services, which means people who are going into labor in those areas will have to travel much farther to deliver their babies in a hospital. At a public hearing in New Prague last night, Mayo Clinic leaders discussed their plan to end labor services this coming Friday and move them to Mankato.

City of Fosston Mayor Jim Offerdahl is pushing back on Essentia Health after they stopped delivering babies in Fosston.  

There's a public hearing Tuesday evening in Fosston Minnesota, which is in the northwestern part of the state, on a decision to stop delivering babies at the hospital in town. It is the second hospital this month to announce a closure of its delivery ward. Mayo Clinic in New Prague also said it intends to close it's ward. That means that pregnant people in Fosston and New Prague will have to travel unprecedented distances to find an obstetric unit that delivers babies. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with Fosston's mayor, Jim Offerdahl. Offerdahl said that city officials, community members and doctors alike are upset about the decision from the organization that runs the hospital, Essentia. He argued that Essentia breached their agreement with the town. Katy Backes Kozhimannil, a professor at U of M's school of public health, also joined Minnesota Now to talk about what it might mean for those two rural birth wards to be at risk of closing soon. Essentia sent MPR News the following statement:Due to a pending dispute with the City about the terms of the affiliation agreement, Essentia will not comment on matters that will be resolved through an arbitration process.Decreasing birth volumes, the growth in high-risk pregnancies and challenges recruiting providers have resulted in Essentia Health-Fosston relocating labor and delivery care. We remain committed to providing high-quality obstetric care and continue to offer excellent access for women locally, with expert prenatal and postpartum services available in Fosston. We work closely with our patients to ensure a seamless delivery plan at Essentia Health St. Mary's-Detroit Lakes.We appreciate the opportunity to further explain this transition during the public hearing. We recognize that members of the community have questions about this change, and we look forward to providing additional information. Our highest priority is the safety and well-being of the patients we're privileged to serve, and this increasingly common model of shared maternity services provides the safest care possible to our moms and newborns.And just generally speaking and for additional background, it's no secret that this is a significant challenge affecting health care in rural communities. Minnesota has seen a disproportionate loss of labor and delivery services in rural communities — between 2000 and 2015 alone, 15 of the state's rural hospitals stopped delivering babies, according to this 2019 MPR article. Nationwide, fewer than 45% of rural hospitals offer labor and delivery, according to this report.

The man who admitted stealing a pair of ruby red slippers worn in the "The Wizard of Oz" will not go to prison. And Essentia Health is closing its labor and delivery services unit in the rural northwestern Minnesota city of Fosston. Mayor Jim Offerdahl says the announcement breeches a contract Essentia has with the city to offer core services.This is an MPR News morning update, hosted by Phil Picardi. Music by Gary Meister.
