@7.news.watertown: Plans to close labor and delivery services at Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center in Ogdensburg have been delayed. The closure plan was originally expected to receive state approval by Nov. 30, but lawyers for North Star Health Alliance said during a bankruptcy court hearing that the earliest approval is now expected to come Dec. 17. The health system says it has been working with Canton-Potsdam Hospital, where most babies born in St. Lawrence County are already delivered. 📰: https://www.wwnytv.com/2026/10/23/claxton-hepburn-labor-delivery-closure-delayed/ #ClaxtonHepburn #OgdensburgNY #StLawrenceCounty #HealthcareNews #NorthCountryNY

Snow Harper-Moulton :
Who cares that in the first 3 weeks of October we delivered 4 preterm babies that came within an hour of arrival to Claxton. They all lived within 5 minutes of that hospital and never would have made it to Potsdam. It is unfair that years of mismanagement have such a negative effect on our most vulnerable patients.
