Giving birth is always stressful, but for Meghan Grover, uncertainty about the future of her local hospital added a layer of concern. “We were not sure where we would deliver the child,” Grover said. Grover wanted to have her baby at Sharon Hospital in northwest Connecticut. The hospital is about 20 minutes from Millbrook, New York, a rural village where Grover and her family live. Much of her community relies on it for care. It’s also where Grover had her first child – a breech baby.
