“We are unable to safely staff the service ... The number of resignations leaves us no choice but to pause delivering babies,' said the hospital CEO.
CEO Gerald Cayer announced at a news conference Friday that the maternity department would shut down Sept. 25 until enough new vaccinated employees can be hired to safely reopen.
“We are unable to safely staff the service after Sept. 24. The number of resignations received leaves us no choice but to pause delivering babies at Lewis County General Hospital,” said Cayer. “It is my hope that the Department of Health will work with us in pausing the service rather than closing the maternity department.”
“Essential health services are not at risk because of the mandate,” Cayer said. “The mandate ensures we will have a healthy workforce and we are not responsible for [causing COVID-19] transmission in or out of our facilities.” Cayer said when he’s asked asked if he supports mandatory vaccines for health care workers, his answer is “unequivocally, yes.”
