The birthing center at Palomar Health's Poway Medical Center is set to close soon, with services being transferred to Escondido.
Palomar Health's Poway Medical Center opened in 1977 and at one point more than 3,500 babies were being born there every year. That number has been dropping. Now Palomar officials said it is closer to 800 a year — or about two newborns per day.
The birthing center in Poway is set to close in early June. Palomar Health officials said the services will then be transferred to their Escondido hospital. "Many of those nurses are going to be coming straight across the 15 to the Escondido campus," Russell said."Just transitioning one day — I'm going to work here and the next day I’m going to work here — at a different facility."Nurses in Poway are represented by the California Nurses Association. Their chief representative is Susan Adams, who is also a labor and delivery nurse in Escondido.
"I'm just concerned if they think it might come back — what are all the hoops that the hospital system will have to go through to get it back," she said."I think once they close it, it seems to me it’s really hard to get the wheels rolling again."
