A popular group of midwives and family medicine doctors who delivered babies at West Suburban Medical Center in Oak Park for at least 20 years have filed a complaint with the Illinois Department of Public Health over their sudden departure. Friday was the last day more than 40 midwives and family medicine physicians at PCC Community Wellness Center on the West Side were allowed to deliver, a move that has outraged several West Side politicians, patients and community advocates. West Suburban and these providers have become a destination for pregnant people who want a more holistic birth with little medical intervention. PCC mostly treats low-income Black and Latino patients on the West Side, but women from across the region have sought out PCC’s midwifery care . West Suburban CEO Dr. Manoj Prasad has told PCC that securing professional liability insurance “will be severely limited or likely impossible ” if the current labor and delivery practices continue. Only residency-trained OB-GYN physicians would have delivery privileges. In the complaint obtained by WBEZ, PCC Chief Medical Officer Dr. Paul Luning alleges that West Suburban has violated the Illinois Licensing Act. Luning also is president of the West Suburban medical staff, and in the letter, he said members have a right to request a fair hearing. He alleged Prasad did not give the required 15 days notice — PCC received 11 days — for a decision about privileges that’s “based substantially on economic factors,” nor has Prasad let the medical staff “inspect all pertinent information in the hospital’s possession with respect to the decision.” Luning requested a copy of information that Prasad received from insurance brokers to support his claims about the difficulty in obtaining malpractice insurance. “We’ve never seen any evidence of this,” Alyssa Sianghio, CEO of PCC, said in an interview. “We’ve also asked to say, can we work with your malpractice insurance?” Luning asked to delay the decision to cut ties with PCC until Dec. 31 to help patients navigate what’s next. A spokeswoman for Prasad on Friday provided WBEZ with a copy of the letter she said is from the insurance carrier citing its concerns but redacting the name of the carrier. A spokesman for the Illinois public health department said the agency is continuing to monitor and investigate. Prasad did give PCC providers an extra week before they had to leave as a group of Black politicians from the West Side got involved. During a meeting this week with several elected officials and Sianghio, West Suburban Chief Medical Officer Dr. Carolyn Fitzpatrick said the midwives could come back, Sianghio said. She said that was the first she heard of this offer and still wants it in writing. Prasad’s spokeswoman, Jordan Abudayyeh, said PCC declined this offer to return under the supervision of OBs in the past. In a letter to lawmakers after their meetings this week, Fitzpatrick said obstetricians would take care of patients. She said the hospital is “grateful to PCC for the role they have played at West Suburban, but this change was both the right choice for patient safety and the only choice for the hospital’s future.” Fitzpatrick said in the past decade, West Suburban has paid out more than $126 million in claims against the OB-GYN department under PCC’s leadership. Only one insurance carrier was willing to consider insuring the hospital and only would do so if OBs managed all labor and delivery, Fitzpatrick said. Sianghio said she has no knowledge of what claims the hospital has paid over time and no way to know what kind of providers they were for. At a town hall Thursday night, at least 50 people gathered in a West Side church to decry what’s happening at the hospital and organize how to fight back. Several women who gave birth at West Suburban with PCC providers shared their experiences. They decried how the West Side already has few places to give birth, and how Black women in particular are dying before and after childbirth. “To have something like this happen in one of the largest Black communities in Chicago, when our entire nation is facing a Black maternal health crisis, it’s a slap in the face,” said Jaidalyn Rand. “I don’t want to hear the news tomorrow that a mother died or a baby died, but I’m scared that’s what we’re going to hear. I’m really scared. Like, this is bringing me to tears, because I’ve been there.” Rand said her daughter was stillborn, and she herself almost died after having her daughter and her son. The nonprofit March of Dimes gave Illinois a D this year for the rate of babies born prematurely. The rate is highest among Black newborns. “To hear that the administration at this hospital would blindly turn an eye to Black women is greatly concerning for me,” Rand said. “I am sitting here shaking, because I’m very emotional about it, because this is my home. This is my community.” Chicago Ald. Emma Mitts, 37th Ward, and Cook County Commissioner Tara Stamps also addressed the crowd. Mitts at one point suggested the community boycott the hospital and seek care at other medical centers. When the last shift for midwives and family medicine physicians ended around 7:00 a.m. on Friday, Abudayyeh said two obstetricians would be available to deliver patients at the hospital and would have a backup plan in case more help is needed. “I’m personally scared,” Sianghio said. “I am nervous if there are multiple people coming and there’s just not sufficient staffing. I’m worried about our patients who maybe end up in an ambulance and are in an emergency, are going to be taken there regardless, and are maybe hoping their PCC provider could come and they can’t. My heart is breaking for the women on the West Side.” Kristen Schorsch covers public health and Cook County for WBEZ.mnl168 legit 。

How major US stock indexes fared Wednesday, 11/27/2024

South Carolina is off to an uneven start, but that hasn't obscured the steady rise of Collin Murray-Boyles. The 6-foot-7 sophomore will be the player to watch when South Carolina (6-3) hosts South Carolina Upstate (4-8) Saturday afternoon in Columbia. Murray-Boyles leads the Gamecocks in points (16.2), rebounds (9.4), steals (1.2) and blocks (1.1) per game. As South Carolina struggled to a 75-68 victory over East Carolina on Saturday, Murray-Boyles carried the Gamecocks, making all 10 of his shots from the floor and finishing with 20 points and 10 rebounds. "He's been working on pivoting towards the basket and getting on balance and then making a strong move through some contact," South Carolina coach Lamont Paris said. The Gamecocks have been highly dependent on Murray-Boyles. In the two games in which he has fouled out, South Carolina lost to Xavier and Indiana. Meanwhile, the Gamecocks are unbeaten in the six games in which he has collected at least eight rebounds. "He's still growing and it's exciting to see," Paris said. "He's got phenomenal natural touch." Also emerging lately have been Norfolk State transfer Jamarii Thomas, who had season highs of 22 points and seven assists against East Carolina, and Morris Ugusuk, who has hit 10 of 14 shots from 3-point range in the last three games. South Carolina Upstate has been sparked by a pair of guards who each have won multiple Big South freshman of the week awards. Carmelo Adkins had 31 points and 12 rebounds in wins last week over Division III Brevard and at Western Carolina, while Mister Dean leads the Spartans in points (15.7), rebounds (5.6) and steals (2.0) per game. "He sparks runs because he'll make a dynamic dunk," Spartans coach Marty Richter said of Dean. "He brings energy with how he scores the basketball, in a hurry. He can score in bunches." The Spartans enter on a high as the win over Western Carolina was Richter's first over a Division I team. South Carolina Upstate is 1-8 all-time against South Carolina. This year, the Spartans are winless in four games against power conference schools. In an 85-80 loss a month ago at Wake Forest, however, they led for much of the second half. --Field Level Media

Matt Gaetz says he won't return to Congress next year after withdrawing name for attorney general WASHINGTON (AP) — Matt Gaetz is not coming back to Congress. The Florida Republican said Friday he has no intention of serving another term in the House now that he is no longer President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general. Gaetz withdrew as the nominee this week amid growing fallout from the allegations of sexual conduct against him. Gaetz denies the allegations. Gaetz didn't lay out his plans now that he's out of office, saying only, “I’m still going to be in the fight, but it’s going to be from a new perch." After Gaetz's withdrawal on Thursday, Trump named former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi to lead the Justice Department. Vance takes on a more visible transition role, working to boost Trump's most contentious picks WASHINGTON (AP) — After several weeks working behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill this week in a new, more visible role. He's been helping Donald Trump’s most contentious Cabinet picks try to win confirmation in the Senate, where he has served for the last two years. Vance spent part of Wednesday at the Capitol with Rep. Matt Gaetz sitting in on meetings with Trump’s controversial choice for attorney general. On Thursday, Vance was back, this time accompanying Pete Hegseth. Vance is expected to accompany other nominees for meetings over the coming weeks as he tries to leverage the two years he has spent in the Senate to help push through Trump’s picks. Beyond evangelicals, Trump and his allies courted smaller faith groups, from the Amish to Chabad Donald Trump’s lock on the white evangelical vote is legendary, but he didn't focus exclusively on large religious voter blocs. He and his allies also wooed smaller religious groups, away from the mainstream. He posted a tribute to Coptic church members on social media and met with members of Assyrians for Trump — two smaller Christian communities with Middle Eastern roots. He visited the grave of the revered late leader of an Orthodox Jewish movement. His allies sought votes from the separatist Amish community. While Trump won decisively, the outreaches reflected aggressive campaigning in what was expected to be a tight race. NATO and Ukraine to hold emergency talks after Russia's attack with new hypersonic missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — NATO and Ukraine will hold emergency talks Tuesday after Russia attacked a central city with a hypersonic ballistic missile that escalated the nearly 33-month-old war. Ukraine's parliament canceled a session Friday over the security threat. In a stark warning to the West, President Vladimir Putin said in a nationally televised speech Thursday that the attack with the intermediate-range Oreshnik missile was retaliation for Kyiv’s use of U.S. and British longer-range missiles capable of striking deeper into Russian territory. Putin said Russia is launching production of the Oreshnik, saying it's so powerful that several of them fitted with conventional warheads could be as devastating as a strike with strategic — or nuclear — weapons. Texas education board approves optional Bible-infused curriculum for elementary schools AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas’ education board has voted to allow Bible-infused teachings in elementary schools. The approval Friday follows other Republican-led states that have pushed this year to give religion a larger presence in public classrooms. The curriculum adopted by the Texas State Board of Education is optional for schools to adopt, but they’ll receive additional funding if they do so. Parents and teachers who opposed the curriculum say the lessons will alienate students of other faith backgrounds. Supporters argue the Bible is a core feature of American history and that teaching it will enrich learning. 2 convicted in human smuggling case after Indian family froze to death on US-Canada border FERGUS FALLS, Minn. (AP) — A jury has convicted two men of charges related to human smuggling for their roles in an international operation that led to the deaths of a family of Indian migrants who froze while trying to cross the Canada-U.S. border during a 2022 blizzard. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel and Steve Shand each faced four charges related to human smuggling before being convicted on Friday. Patel is an Indian national. Shand is an American from Florida. They were arrested after the family froze while trying to cross the desolate border during a 2022 blizzard. Storm inundates Northern California with rain, heavy snow. Thousands remain in the dark in Seattle HEALDSBURG, Calif. (AP) — Heavy rain from a major storm prompted evacuations from communities near a Northern California river that forecasters say could break its banks Friday, as the storm keeps dumping heavy snow in the region's mountains where some ski resorts opened for the season. The storm reached the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, killing two people and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands before moving through Northern California, where several roads were closed due to flooding and strong winds toppled some trees. Forecasters are warning about the risk of flash flooding and rockslides in areas north of San Francisco as the region was inundated by this season’s strongest atmospheric river. Archaeologists discover 4,000-year-old canals used to fish by predecessors of ancient Maya WASHINGTON (AP) — Using drones and Google Earth imagery, archaeologists have discovered a 4,000-year-old network of earthen canals in what’s now Belize. The research published Friday in Science Advances shows that long before the ancient Maya built temples, their predecessors were already altering the landscape of Central America’s Yucatan peninsula. The ancient fish canals were used to channel and catch freshwater species such as catfish. These structures were used for around 1,000 years — including during the “formative” period when the Maya began to settle in permanent farming villages and a distinctive culture started to emerge. California case is the first confirmed bird flu infection in a US child Health officials are confirming bird flu in a California child — the first reported case in a U.S. minor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced confirmatory test results on Friday. Officials say the child had mild symptoms, was treated with antiviral medication and is recovering. The child’s infection brings the reported number of U.S. bird flu cases this year to 55, including 29 in California. State officials have said the child lives in Alameda County, which includes Oakland, and attends day care, but released no other details. Brazilian police formally accuse former President Bolsonaro and aides of alleged 2022 coup attempt SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil’s Federal Police have formally accused former President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 other people of attempting a coup to keep him in office after his electoral defeat in the 2022 elections. The findings are to be delivered Thursday to Brazil’s Supreme Court, which will refer them to Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, who will either formally charge Bolsonaro and put the former president on trial or toss the investigation. The former right-wing president has denied all claims he tried to stay in office after his narrow electoral defeat in 2022 to his rival, leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro has faced a series of legal threats since then.Weekly Horoscope Your weekly horoscope is here to provide you with the insight and guidance you need to navigate the ups and downs of life.
