While maternity wards across Southeastern Pennsylvania have closed indroves, two local hospitals are upgrading and expanding their services for
expectant moms.
Warminster Hospital closed its obstetrical unit in 2000, and Jeanes Hospital,in Northeast Philadelphia, last week became the 14th unit to close in
Southeastern Pennsylvania in the past decade
Anyone want to guess why the obstretrical units are closing???
Malpractice insurance is expensive
Yep, those lawyers have to earn enough for the country club, the house in aspen, the mercedes, the mistress…. there are other factors including the payments by Medicare and the insurance companies which often don’t cover the cost of services.
So, if you are a young couple planning to have children, take a look at the local hospitals when you are looking for your new suburban home. Where is the nearest hospital with a maternity ward??
