William Newton Hospital will host a community conversation later this month focused on local maternal care, obstetric services and child health.
The forum is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27, at the Winfield Public Library. Doors open at 4:45 p.m., with the event beginning at 5 p.m. Families are welcome.
Hospital leadership says the event comes as rural providers nationwide continue to navigate staffing and resource challenges, with WNH aiming to provide more transparency and gather feedback from the community.
“We understand that access to safe, local services is a top priority for our community,” interim CEO Gigi Fergus said in a statement. “Our goal is to provide a clear look at the hospital’s growth plans, our active recruitment of providers, and the safety-first protocols we have in place.”
Residents are encouraged to submit questions in advance to help guide the discussion. Continue below ad.
For those unable to attend, WNH plans to share information from the meeting online. Hospital leadership also said it will be available for one-on-one conversations with community members following the event.
More information, including how to submit questions, is available through the hospital’s website and communications office.
