Supplemental Midwifery Care

This service was born out of demand when women came to us seeking additional care to what they were being provided in the busy hospital settings with their OBs.

Throughout your pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum care, you will have decisions to make regarding medical procedures and tests. We will help ensure you are informed and educated every step of the way!
