Labor and Delivery department to close at KCK hospital
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Beginning this summer, Providence Medical Center in Kansas City, Kansas will no longer offer labor and delivery services on its healthcare campus.
Prime Healthcare and the Providence Medical Center Board of Directors said this is due to a steady decline in labor and delivery patients over the last 10 years.
