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.⁠
