I called Vernon Memorial Hospital and asked if they offer cloth diapers and they said that they don't generally offer them. They provided them until just recently, they also were the provider for the community (they had their own cloth diaper service within the hospital). The reason they stopped is because the demand in the community wasn't enough to justify the program anymore. However, they still have the stock of cloth diapers at the hospital and if you called a month or two ahead they could set something up so you can use cloth diapers during your stay.
