From staff reports

Clarion Hospital will close its inpatient obstetrical unit and open a Women’s Care Center at BHS Clarion Trinity Point.

According to a Butler Health System news release, women under the care of Clarion physicians will be directed to Butler Memorial Hospital for newborn deliveries, effective July 1.

BHS Women’s Care Clarion will continue to provide comprehensive women’s health care, including all prenatal, post-partum and gynecologic care.

Later in the summer, BHS Clarion will open a state-of-the-art medical office building in BHS Clarion at Trinity Point, which will offer enhanced comprehensive women’s services. BHS Women’s Care will offer state-of-the-art, 3D mammography; bone density (DEXA) testing; women’s ultrasound; and other amenities and services.

Clarion Hospital President Steven Davis said the new partnership offers an expansion of the Clarion team.

“Rest assured, women will still receive all prenatal care in Clarion. The only change will be where they will deliver,” he said.

Butler Memorial Hospital offers 24/7 on-site pediatric hospitalists and nursery support, 24/7 on-site anesthesiology care for labor pain management and emergency deliveries, midwifery care, and the option for women who have had a previous cesarean delivery to have a trial of labor.

Butler Memorial Hospital recently gained national attention and recognition by Newsweek as a “Top 100 Maternity Hospital” in the United States.

Clarion Trinity Point will include comprehensive BHS Cardiovascular Care, including cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery clinics, pulmonary and sleep medicine specialists, a healthy cafe, and educational offerings focused on lifestyle medicine.
