Burns Family Promise Experience.
Bethany and Matt had amazing prenatal care at Promise Community Health Center. The midwifery team was always attentive and thorough. Their preferences and input were considered in each decision and the prenatal care was tailored to their specific needs.
Having Belinda and Jamie come to their home for the labor and delivery was such a privilege. Their expertise help guide baby Irisa into their lives relatively peacefully and so joyfully. Belinda cared for their family in the birth of their third daughter Vivian so having her deliver Irisa was so meaningful.
