The Ballard Swedish will be shutting down their birth center on August 31.
The hospital says it will continue to provide pre-delivery obstetric and midwifery services at the Ballard campus, but all deliveries previously scheduled for Ballard will be moved to the First Hill campus.
“Swedish is committed to providing high-quality, cost-effective care to our patients while also adapting to the changing health care needs of our community. Sometimes this involves difficult decisions, but we strive to ensure there will be minimal impact on patient care,” a Swedish spokesperson said in a statement.
