WADSWORTH, Ohio (AP) - When Silvia Reed left Summa Wadsworth-Rittman Hospital with her new baby in her arms, bittersweet tears streamed down her face. The birth of her first child last week also marked the death of the place where she loved to work. Reed had been a nurse for four years in the hospital's labor and delivery unit. Her daughter, Aaliyah Venice Reed, was the last baby born there before the hospital officially shut down its maternity services on Saturday. Reed delivered the 6-pound, 6-ounce baby girl last Wednesday evening after being induced nine days before her due date. The hospital's decision to shutter its maternity ward sparked a community outcry, especially among families who had their babies in the unit and those who planned to deliver.
