The weak economy has made a direct impact on certain hospital services in Commerce. MainStreetNews.com reports this morning that BJC Medical Center will close its labor and delivery services as of December 9th. The hospital’s CEO says the closing will help trim the facility’s deficit by up to $750,000. BJC Medical Center officials say they cannot sustain services with current Medicaid reimbursements. Patients will be sent to hospitals in Athens and Gainesville.
