The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) will hold a public hearing on Monday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. on Mayo Clinic Health System (MCHS)-Fairmont’s closure of its inpatient obstetrical care, inpatient pediatric care and surgical procedures units.

According to the filed submission, MCHS will be consolidating and relocating these services to its Mankato campus.

The hearing, which will include both an in-person and virtual option to provide a forum for the community to discuss the change in services, will be hosted by MDH’s Health Regulation Division in the large conference room at Mayo Clinic Health System - Fairmont, 800 Medical Center Dr., Fairmont, MN 56031.
