Description

Plumas District Hospital in rural Northern California plans to open a birth center and standby maternity ward as a result of new California state laws. The birth center will allow women who qualify and do not want an epidural to give birth locally, with an on-call obstetrics team available for transfers if complications arise. This initiative aims to bring maternity care closer to home for rural families after the hospital closed its maternity ward in 2022 due to costs and declining birth rates.
