The Bird Family Promise Experience.
At their prenatal checkups Hannah and Scott received patient-centered care that was research-based. At each visit the Promise midwives and OB team were knowledgeable and so personable. During the labor and delivery at home the Bird’s felt supported and encouraged. Hannah especially appreciated how supportive the OB team was in letting her body do the work and labor on its own timeline. That was so special! Hannah also appreciated how Midwife Kari Ney checked in on her and baby Emmett often. They had a wonderful, family-centered experience delivering Emmett at home and for that the Bird family is so thankful!
