More state lawmakers are joining the opposition to UMass Memorial Health's decision to close a birthing center in Leominster. State Reps. Robyn Kennedy and Mary Keefe joined members of the north-central Massachusetts delegation at a press conference Monday. The lawmakers say they're concerned about how the closure will affect local hospitals as they take on families no longer able to use the birthing center. "One fetal or maternal death, that will undoubtedly occur if this closure proceeds, is too many,' said Tara Corey, a RN at Leominster Hospital, at Monday's press conference.
