Grady Maternity Closing July 31

OhioHealth is shutting down the maternity ward at Grady Memorial Hospital in Delaware, Ohio, by July 31st — but don’t panic, emergency care and other women’s health services are staying put. With fewer than 10% of local births happening there last year, families are increasingly choosing larger hospitals like Dublin Methodist or Riverside Methodist for delivery. The move reflects a national trend toward centralized maternity care, prioritizing 24/7 specialist support and advanced resources. Grady’s ER will still handle emergency births, and prenatal, postnatal, and gynecology care through OhioHealth Physician Group remains available locally — keeping essential care alive in the community.
