📰 News we're reading

• How a community in Maine is fighting to save their birthing center (wlrn.org) — Damariscotta’s Miles Hospital birthing unit may close in December, leaving local parents facing much longer, riskier drives to deliver their babies. A fast-growing grassroots coalition, Miles Delivers, is pressing MaineHealth and state officials with staffing ideas, financial data, and even a lawsuit to keep the Damariscotta-based obstetrics unit open and protect rural maternity care across Maine.
