Newark-Wayne Community Hospital will hold a public meeting regarding the proposed closure of inpatient labor and delivery services at the hospital.

The meeting is part of the state review process and will allow community members to learn more about the proposal, ask questions, and provide feedback on the future of maternal health care services in the region.

The meeting is scheduled for Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES Conference Center on Vienna Street in Newark. A virtual attendance option is also be available.

Rochester Regional Health said the session is procedural in nature and focused specifically on the proposed closure of inpatient labor and delivery services at Newark-Wayne Community Hospital.

Residents who cannot attend the meeting can still submit written comments through June 6. Comments may be sent directly to the New York State Department of Health by email
