Community Education
Our clinical staff may be available to speak in the community on various aspects of reproductive health, family planning, childbirth, and the midwifery philosophy of care. In addition to community organizations, we may be available to speak at career fairs and lectures (high school and college levels).

Information and Resources for Clients

Resources could include ways to obtain affordable health care and childcare, food assistance, free diapers, behavioral health care, information about smoking cessation, and more. Clients will be asked to fill out a screening form and those who have additional needs will be offered an appointment with our Community Engagement Coordinator, Renae Green.
