MedStar Washington Hospital Center told the nurse’s union it plans to shut down an entire postpartum unit by the end of July.
That means getting rid of 11 out of 28 beds and cutting eight nurses.
The nurse's union says the change could lead to unsafe practices for new mothers in labor and postpartum.
