By Anna Katayama GRESHAM, Oregon ( KPTV ) — A birthing center in Gresham that serves hundreds of patients from East Multnomah and Clackamas counties is closing its doors at midnight Friday. MHMC's Family Birthing Center served thousands of people from east metro communities including Boring, Estacada, Gresham, Sandy and Wood Village. Legacy Mt. Hood Medical Center says it will no longer have staff to provide labor and delivery care. Patients are being referred to Portland hospitals. Nurses and community members gathered outside the hospital for a candlelight vigil Friday night.
