Hello Families! Inspiration is preparing for Hurricane Dorian and we hope you are too! In the days that come Inspiration will be closed only if it is unsafe to occupy the building or travel. Please call if you have a problem. If cell phone service is unavailable during or after the storm or you can not reach one of us on your list in the binder, go to the nearest hospital. If you do not have the list of numbers, please reach out! If the birth center continues to have power, our center will be open to anyone of our families in need. After the storm, If you are without power or are unsafe where you are, please reach out to us and we will accomodate you at the center if we can. During the storm it will be best to stay in a secure shelter if need be. Once Inspiration's building has been assessed after the storm and is in good shape, it will be open to any in need. Even if that's just to do laundry!! Please let us know. We are happy to help with resources and community connections as well. We want all our families safe and sound during and after the storm!

Hello Everyone!
Inspiration has some big news! Inspiration Family Birth Center will be merging with Tree of Life Birth and Gynecology, effective September 1, 2019! We are very excited about this change.
As you know Inspiration Family Birth Center’s building has been a leased birth center for almost 28 years. The building was sold recently and will be torn down in the coming year. The owners have expedited taking over the building, and not renewing the leases of the current tenants.
Inspiration Health Care, LLC will remain, and I will continue to serve patient through Tree of Life only. Their nationally accredited facility has welcomed our patients and will work on easing our transition into their practice.
Over the coming months we will be seeking out new property to expand Tree of Life into other locations and Inspiration will be a big part of that! The spirit of cooperative midwifery is very strong, and I am sure this will be a huge benefit for both Tree of Life and for Inspiration to partner.
If you are a current patient with Inspiration, we may have already spoken in person. All contracts will be honored, and no changes in services or contract amount will occur. The only change will be the location that you go to have your prenatal visits and have your baby!
The Inspiration facility itself will Close October 1. All patient will be transitioned into Tree of Life. I will start seeing patients at Tree of Life’s facility September 1. Those due in September will deliver at the Inspiration Family Birth Center. Those due October 1 and beyond will deliver at Tree of Life.
This is a bittersweet event for me personally. Inspiration has been my life for 10 years. By the time we close our doors October 1, we will have delivered 1200 babies! There are many sweet memories here. I encourage any of you that would like to come take pictures of where your babies were born before it is destroyed to do so. I am excited about a new adventure and building a true cooperative community of birthing centers throughout Central Florida, so that more families can have access to birthing center services. In this environment of health care and economy, it is a team effort that will push us to this goal! I am grateful for Kaleen Richardson at Tree of Life for welcoming us as partners on this new adventure.
If you have any questions or concerns, I encourage you to reach out to me personally. My cell phone number is 407-625-0482. Our goal is a smooth transition and happy families!

04/26/2019 MEMO: To All Clients and Families of Inspiration Family Birth Center

Hello Families!

2019 is going to be a big year for Inspiration Family Birth Center! There are some changes coming to our practice that I wanted to fill you in on.

The first big change is that Mary Surprenant – our incredible super midwife – is starting her own home birth practice! Blessings in Abundance has launched and we couldn’t be any happier for Mary! She will still be with Inspiration for the time being in a part-time position as a midwife. I will be coming back to the practice as a midwife. I am excited to be back taking care of mama’s and their babies! We also still have Laura Nathan in our practice as well as a backup midwife. So our team is still serving you, just in a different configuration.

For those of you who do not know me, I have practiced as a midwife for 14 years. I practiced as a homebirth midwife assistant and doula professionally for 11 years prior to that. I have attended thousands of births and am proud to have delivered over 900 babies personally. I stepped back from practice several years ago for personal and family reasons, but am happy to bring all of my experience and knowledge to taking care of our clients once again.

The next big change for Inspiration is that we are moving! We were informed that our landlord has sold the property and that the complex is scheduled for demolition in 2020. Our 32 year legacy as a birthing center in this building, first as Winter Park Birthing Cottage with Alice Pillay, and then as Inspiration Family Birth Center – will come to an end. We are searching for a new facility and am excited to build a brand new space! While our current building is dear to our hearts, we look forward to upgrading our facility and creating a new modern space that will serve our families for years to come! This change will be months down the road. Our anticipated move would be in 2020. I wanted to let each of you know about this change early and will update as move along in the process.

We know you may have lots of questions. We are happy to answer them to the best of our ability. We are very proud of our practice and am happy you have chosen us for your care. Our clients are our number one priority and you can rest assured that these changes will not affect the care you are receiving or the plans and agreements already in place.

I look forward to getting to know all our new clients and connecting with our returning clients
