Women's Health care services after merger

Many of you are aware that after the hospital mergers here in Kingston, the Foxhall Ambulatory building housed women's reproductive health services,including abortion. But for the past few months there has been no doctor on staff to provide such services.
Today's NYT has an editorial calling on states to ensure all essential services are maintained post-mergers. The editorial makes it seem that this is promlematic only in rural areas...but it is happening here!
(The editorial mentions Merger Watch...)
