Land acknowledgement
We would like to draw attention to the continued relationship of the Indigenous peoples have with their territory and land. We celebrate the importance of Indigenous culture within our communities and within the land that we gather, live, learn and work on. We acknowledge that we are on unceded traditional territories of the Kwakwaka’wakw and Namgis people and we give thanks for the incredible people and beauty of this land.
Choice of Birthplace is important to us. If you have a low risk pregnancy, you can choose to birth at the Port Hardy Hospital or at home. We also do pregnancy care if you plan to birth with our midwife colleagues, Family Physicians or Obstetricians in other regions. We will make sure you care is seamless and well organized.
Port Hardy hospital does not have epidurals, inductions of labour or C-section options available.
Birth where it is right for you~
From prenatal care to postpartum, two midwives care for you and get to know you. Clients love the home visits after the baby is born. Getting care in the comfort of your home so you can rest and heal.
We continue your care to 6-8 weeks after your baby is born and we can help you choose birth control option that is right for you.
We take time to get to know you.
Having a relationship of trust and making sure informed choice are some of the reasons we give you longer appointments.
