Hospital Spurs Labor Pains
)
Dozens of women scheduled to give birth at Victory Memorial Hospital this holiday season had to find alternate sources of care weeks, even days, before giving birth.
Without a staff, the Bay Ridge hospital prematurely shut down its labor and delivery unit Dec. 21 — 10 days earlier than the original Dec. 31 date that was listed on employees’ termination letters.
Residents of Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst are already worried about Victory’s projected Feb. 1 closing date.
