Chicago Hospital Changes Its Midwife Program. Patients Aren’t Happy.

from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons

Starting September 1, Swedish Covenant Hospital in Lincoln Square, Chicago will combine midwives with obstetricians in a single department to care for pregnant people. The move scales back a midwifery program that some patients praise as defining their pregnancy and delivery experience. We talked to two journalists, WBEZ’s Kristen Schorsch & Block Club Chicago’s Kayleigh Padar, to learn more about this shift and how midwives can play a fundamental role in patients’ care experience.
