MaineHealth has announced that they are ending their labor and delivery services at Waldo Hospital in Belfast, as of April 1.
The next closest maternity ward is a 40 min drive away at the MaineHealth Pen Bay Hospital in Rockport.
From MaineHealth:
The decision comes following a months-long review of the obstetrics program by the hospital’s clinical and executive leadership that included extensive community outreach and input. A community forum hosted by MaineHealth Waldo Hospital in August was attended by more than 200 people, and hospital leaders also made presentations to the Belfast City Council. The hospital reached out proactively to dozens of community leaders and took in comments and suggestions over several weeks leading up to the forum.
