HonorHealth has made the difficult decision to consolidate our maternity services in Scottsdale to HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center. This is slated to happen by the end of the second quarter of 2023, after which routine obstetrical services will no longer be offered at HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center.

Our dedication to providing our community with exceptional, high-quality maternity care remains strong. This transition will provide our maternity patients broader services at HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center, including high-risk obstetrics, in-house OB hospitalists, more robust post-delivery resources, and a Level III NICU, which offers advanced care for newborns of any gestational age. We have assessed the capacity for HonorHealth Scottsdale Shea Medical Center to serve increased volumes that will result from this service consolidation. We have capacity to accommodate the anticipated volume shift, with room for expansion, if needed.

This decision was made to address declining delivery volumes and a substantial reduction in the number of community providers providing obstetrical services at HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center, as well as the rising costs of staffing necessary specialists 24/7.

Even after this transition, HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center will continue to:

• Provide gynecologic services
• Staff obstetrics and gynecology on-call physicians to support our Level I Trauma Center

We are grateful to our team members and physicians at HonorHealth Family Birthing Suites – Osborn who have provided extraordinary care to our maternity patients and their babies and families throughout the years.

Stay tuned for updates regarding this transition.
