HonorHealth is consolidating maternity services in Scottsdale to HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center.
The move is expected to happen by the end of the second quarter of 2023, which means it should occur within the month.
At that time, obstetrical services will no longer be offered at Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center, according to a statement sent to ABC15.
ABC15 spoke to Ramona Walker, who is ten weeks from her due date.
Walker has been going to Mom Doc in Tempe, but she had plans to deliver at HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center.
“But two weeks ago at my doctor's appointment, they just let me know as of the end of June to go ahead and start going straight to Shea,” said Walker.
Walker knows she's not the only person impacted.
“More so it’s the nurses at Osborn, who knows if they are going to have jobs anymore,” said Walker. “Who knows their situation.”
Walker tells ABC15 she was told the change was due to staffing.
HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center offers its patients access to services that include high-risk obstetrics, in-house OB hospitals, robust post-delivery resources, and a Level III NICU, which offers advanced care for newborns of any gestational age.
