IRONWOOD - Aspirus announced Friday afternoon that it is closing labor and delivery services at its Aspirus Ironwood hospital location.  Aspirus Health said in a press release that a new model will end labor and delivery services on December 31. The press release said the hospital will continue to offer high-quality prenatal and postnatal care for local Ironwood families.  Aspirus informed the OB nurses at the Ironwood hospital on Friday morning about the plan.  Aspirus says persistent national and regional OB/GYN shortages were a driving factor in the decision. Despite years of aggressive recruiting, Aspirus has been unable to secure a full maternal care team in Ironwood.
