The Ellis Family Promise Experience.
The Ellis family appreciated the OB Team at Promise Community Health Center. During the prenatal check ups Courtney and Jon appreciated the time and personal attention both Kari and Kris gave us. They answered every one of our questions (at appts and over the phone) thoroughly and never made us feel rushed or unimportant. During labor and delivery Courtney and Jon appreciated taking time to pray during transition. One of their favorite moments was filling up their birth pool with 5 gallon buckets and a permeable hose! After Miss Avery was born a favorite moment was when she smiled after a feeding while she was sleeping.
