Group Pregnancy Program Midwife - Temporary; Until approx. Stou

Overview

The Group Pregnancy Program is a new, innovative model of care. Clients will be seen on the Alongside Midwifery Unit for prenatal care in a group care model. After delivery, clients will be seen at home within the first week and then re-enter a postpartum group care model. Midwives rotate through providing antenatal, delivery, and postpartum care. The program supports midwives working in shifts (8-hour days or 12-hour days or nights).

• Deliver midwifery care in accordance with professional standards and the philosophy of midwifery and Oak Valley Health.

• Facilitate continuity of access to care beyond the childbearing year, when necessary, through communication with other care providers and services.

• Current Certificate of Registration with the College of Midwives.
