Women’s Health Services at UH Elyria Medical Center
Beginning November 1, 2023, labor and delivery services for UH Elyria OB/GYN patients will be offered at UH St. John Medical Center in Westlake.
This reorganization creates a center of excellence for labor and delivery in the UH western region. Concentrating services at one location will increase patient volume and ultimately enhance the quality of care we provide. National studies confirm that increasing the number of similar procedures at a hospital improves patient care, patient safety and patient experience.
