Our Story
It all began with our first practice called Midwifery Care of Peel and Halton Hills. There were only four midwives who served the community to the West and North of Toronto for more than twenty years. As time went on, that practice has expanded to a group of twenty four midwives serving the Regions of Peel and Halton. As of June 1st, 2018, this large practice has divided into two practices: Midwives of Mississauga & Midwives of Brampton & Halton Hills. We would like to thank all women past, present and future who advocate for midwifery care - “Delivering what matters!”
Midwives provide primary care for their clients throughout normal pregnancy, labour and birth, and for both mom and baby 6 weeks following the birth. Midwives qualify for registration either by graduating from the Ontario Midwifery Education Programme (a four-year university degree program) or the International Midwifery Pre-registration Program. Midwives, obstetricians and family physicians are all considered primary caregivers. Women in Ontario have the option to have 1 of these 3 types if primary care providers.
Midwifery care is completely funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care for residents of Ontario, with or without OHIP. No referral is needed. To request a midwife you can do so by following this link: http://www.mobhh.ca/request-a-midwife/intake-form/
Midwives of Brampton & Halton Hills have hospital privileges at Brampton Civic Hospital
and Georgetown Hospital. Clients can choose to deliver at home or in either of those hospitals.
