I hate that too. However, that is the only way they can save that hospital. It forces people here to use it. It has never made it even with the St. Joseph name on it.. Scott and White doomed it. This saves a lot of jobs. Why else to keep it open?bcstx06 said:
CHI St. Joseph Health moving Labor and Delivery, NICU to College Station

Bryan is too big of a city not to have labor and delivery.
I hope we all aspire to be better than Waco.EBrazosAg said:
B/CS and Waco MSA are same size ~275k. Waco has two hospitals, both on the SW side of town. Nothing central or north.

Does your OB have privileges at both hospitals?
This is silly. You could always say you were conceived in Bryan.Quote:
To me it's about the City of Bryan no longer having any "true" natives.

Well in fairness the birth certificates go by county. So maybe it won't matter.
Some things are more important to some people vs. others. For some people, where they, their children, other family were/are/will be born is important - and not so important to others. For those who it's not important to tell those who it is important to get over it and don't waste your time making a big deal of it won't be received very well. You may even be right but they don't want to hear it. I mean if we can do 3-10 pages of comments on best hamburgers, Mexican food, and debit card fees, then you can't really ignore that where someone and their family is born might be important as well.UmustBKidding said:
All three of my kids were born in the same room at St Joseph's in Bryan while I lived in College Station, and making a big deal out of its a total waste.
No, they shouldn't have purchased it. The Med was DOA not long after it opened. I totally agree with you. Plus, a lot of the doctors in the building were there to be close to their patients in the hospital. Now they will have to drive across town just to check up on their patients. Plus, those doctors that are called from Bryan to CS to deliver a baby will have to drive across town in heavy traffic. Will St. Joseph pay to relocate their offices to CS?agrab86 said:
The real issue here is CHI St. Joe should have never purchased the Med (or whatever there final name was) - should've just let them go under or let someone else acquire them. Now they're forced to make big changes to operations to make it work, changes that upset a lot of their traditional patient-base. They will still be providing other great medical services in Bryan, but I suspect they will offer traditional LDR back in Bryan within 10 years though maybe not NICU.
If you go to get a copy at a courthouse though, they'll want to know the county when looking it up for you.kyledr04 said:techno-ag said:

My kids born at S&W got a COCS birth certificate
I know Texans are proud to be from Texas, but since when was being a "proud Bryan native" a thing? Adding yet another hospital will do nothing but saturate the market, we aren't a big enough city (cities) to handle a third major hospital. I certainly don't want a monopoly on care but I would rather see two well established hospitals with access to quality care and specialists in town even if that means I have to drive ALL THE WAY to College Station to get it.bcstx06 said:
It's not about distance. To me it's about the City of Bryan no longer having any "true" natives. A city the size of Bryan should have a hospital that offers it all.
I know one of the city's main focuses lately is the new midtown and park development, but they should also be concerned with recruiting a new hospital to the city that will offer all basic services at its hospital. I'm sure there are many Houston area hospitals that would love to enter this market. Give them some land in the bio corridor or somewhere along highway 47.
Matter of fact, I remember hearing something a few years back about a large teaching hospital going in the HSC.

The issue isn't whether to add a 3rd hospital - we have 3 & will likely to continue to have 3. The main issue is why the move of LDR/NICU from a successful location at St. Joes in Bryan to a less than successful hospital in CS that St. Joes is trying to rescue as they have bought it.RPJ83 said:I know Texans are proud to be from Texas, but since when was being a "proud Bryan native" a thing?

When you filled out the form, was there a space to indicate county, or did they only ask for city of birth?histag10 said:techno-ag said:If you go to get a copy at a courthouse though, they'll want to know the county when looking it up for you.kyledr04 said:techno-ag said:

Brazos county courthouse no longer holds birth certificates. Vital records are through each city. Went to pick up a birth certificate yesterday with City of Bryan.
