Some vocal Pomegranate midwifery clients from the Sea-to-Sky Corridor are demanding that midwives become integrated into the maternity care services there. They have put together a website for their cause: www.midwivesnow.com. On the site there is a letter they have written to send to their MLA as well as some prominent members of the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority to expedite the integration of midwives. Please sign this letter in their support.
Pomegranate has been accepting patients from communities such as Squamish and Pemberton since they opened their doors two years ago, and many of these woman have to drive long hours and traverse natural obstacles to get the care that they rightfully deserve to have close to home. There are midwives who are eager to set up their life in the Sea-to-Sky Corridor and offer comprehensive maternity care to women and families.
Please forward the weblink to others who agree that solving the maternity care crisis in BC includes integrating midwives across the province.
