Dear Community!

Ocean Grove Midwifery is anticipating changes this summer and fall! With a team member leaving, and a new midwife joining us, we want to introduce you to the new team structures and our plans!

TEAM WAVE: Kiley (former student and resident of Campbell River) will be joining Teralee in a team of 2, providing care on a 50/50 basis. We will be posting her bio on our social media and in the clinic in the near future.

TEAM OCEAN: Lindsay, Lauren and Katia will be moving to a team of 3 who share clinic and call schedules equally.

Jess will be moving onto another role. We will miss her at OGM, but wish her the best and look forward to seeing all that she accomplishes!

Jenn will be focusing on teaching over the coming year. She may also be seen providing locum coverage and home birth second attendant.

Mary is returning from parental leave and will be providing locum coverage for call and clinic.

Sherisse will continue in a locum role, providing clinic and call coverage for the community.

We are looking forward to evolving as a practice to ensure that our clients and our families receive the best of us! We appreciate your patience with us as we work out the details!

🤱 B.C. midwives worry changes to scope of practice will limit mental health support. Katie DeRosa · CBC News. Please keep conversations civil and respectful 👇

Anniken Chadwick worries this will cut off a key lifeline for pregnant women struggling with their mental health.

When Chadwick was pregnant with her first child, she found herself battling extreme anxiety and intrusive thoughts.

The mom from Sunshine Coast BC Canada said her midwife referred her to a perinatal mental health team.

“I was struggling so much. So I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t have the midwife to take the reins with that for me," Chadwick said.

“Stripping that away from [midwives] just feels like such a backwards step."

Angie Knott, executive director of the Midwives Association of B.C., says not every patient has a family doctor or obstetrician-gynecologist.

“There are challenges with access, for example, to family physicians,” Knott said. “So this directive potentially delays really important care.”
