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!
