Thank you to our Newark-Wayne Speech-Language Pathologists for helping patients communicate, think, and eat and drink safely after illness or injury.

Your care helps our community regain independence and reconnect with everyday life, and we’re so thankful for all you do this Better Speech & Hearing month - and every month. 🩵

For more than 70 years, Newark-Wayne Community Hospital has been a place where families have welcomed new life - and we understand how meaningful that is to our community.

Today, we are sharing that, due to changing community needs, declining delivery rates across the region, and ongoing workforce challenges, Rochester Regional Health (RRH) has made the difficult decision to start the state process to end inpatient labor and delivery (L&D), newborn nursery, and postpartum services at Newark-Wayne.

Pending final approval by the New York State Department of Health (DOH), the potential closure date for the Marshall Birthing Center could come in late summer/early fall 2026.

We know this news may bring questions and concerns, especially for expecting families. Please know:

- Labor & Delivery services at Newark-Wayne Community Hospital will continue during the approval and transition period, after which deliveries will transition to RGH and other appropriate facilities.

- Our OB/GYN office in Newark will remain OPEN for prenatal and outpatient OB/GYN care, both before and after deliveries have been transitioned out of the birthing center.

- All other services and departments at Newark-Wayne Community Hospital remain open and fully operational for the community.

- Expectant parents will receive personalized support and guidance every step of the way.
We have already begun contacting patients who may be impacted. If you are planning to deliver at the Marshall Birthing Center, your care team will reach out directly to help coordinate a seamless transition of care.

We know this change may feel uncertain, but we are here for our patients and our community, and will walk alongside you every step of the way.

We had a great time on Friday at Get Ready to Grow, hosted right here at NWCH. 🌱 🩵

We’re so grateful to our volunteers and families, and proud to host events that help our community’s children grow, learn, and thrive. We're here for it.

To our nurses: thank you for showing up with heart, skill, and dedication each and every day.

We’re here for it, and so thankful for you. 🩺

Caring for our community, together. 🩵

This past weekend, we were proud to join Wayne County Community Schools for their 3rd annual Day of Caring in Newark, alongside our Wayne County Rural Health Network.

Our mammography bus was on-site offering free mobile mammograms, bringing preventive care right to the heart of our community. It's always an honor to be part of events that bring health and wellness directly to the community we serve.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by and to all the partners who made this day possible. Together, we're making healthcare more accessible for our neighbors! 🌟

Warm hearts (and cozy hands!) helped make this weekend’s Fire & Ice Festival extra special. ❄️

Our Canandaigua Family Medicine, Pediatrics, and Dentistry teams spent the day volunteering and connecting with local families - sharing smiles, conversations, and a few fun goodies along the way!

We came stocked with everything from hand sanitizer to hand warmers…and to nobody’s surprise, those hand warmers were definitely the fan favorite. 😊

Thank you, Canandaigua, for welcoming us into this wonderful winter tradition.

We love being part of our communities - caring for our neighbors' health and joining in the fun, all year long. 🩵
