COVID-19 Update
/Hello Strathcona Midwifery families,
We hope you all had a relaxing summer. As we head into the fall we need to remain vigilant and careful so that we protect ourselves and each other from getting sick, especially with Covid-19.
We want to remind you of our Covid-19 policies at the clinic:
If you or someone in your household is sick with cold or flu symptoms or is in quarantine please do not come to your scheduled appointment. Contact your midwife to make a plan.
Please wear a mask to your clinic appointment. We have masks on site if you didn’t bring yours.
Please come alone to your appointment if possible. We ask at this time that no partners or kids join you in the clinic. We know this is hard but at this time we need to minimize the potential for exposure to Covid-19 through our clinic.
Our clinic visit schedule is reduced to only medically necessary appointments. Some appointments will be on the phone. Please speak to your midwife to discuss how frequently you will be coming into the clinic in pregnancy and postpartum.
We support our clients to birth at home or in the hospital.
In the hospital for your birth, you will be allowed 1 support person and a certified doula.
At home, for visits or a home birth we request only household members be present plus an additional support person for the birth.
Please speak to your midwife if you have any questions about these policies. We always want to do our best to meet your needs and keep everyone safe and well cared for!
We thank you for all that you are doing to keep yourself and others safe. We understand how hard it is to be pregnant at this time and appreciate your flexibility and support as we continue to provide the best care to our clients in a global pandemic.
Your Strathcona Midwifery team.
