Marshfield Clinic Health System, based in Marshfield, Wisconsin, is set to expand the obstetrics unit at Marshfield Medical Center-Eau Claire in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The expansion will increase the number of labor and delivery beds from eight to 20, allowing for an additional 550 yearly births if needed.
This development comes as a response to recent hospital closures in the area, including two hospitals within the Hospital Sisters Health System located in Springfield, Illinois. The expansion aims to address the increasing demand for obstetrics services in the region.
