Our self-assessment tool for #COVID19 is now online and will help determine if you need further assessment or testing. You can complete this assessment for yourself, or on behalf of someone else, if they are unable to. https://t.co/gU1yYmInNk

Prevention is key to BC’s response to #COVID-19. Remember to wash your hands frequently & avoid touching your face. If you are sick, stay home. If you are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, contact your primary care provider or call 8-1-1.

Happy birthday to all the leap day babies born today! #LeapYear #2020 #HappyBirthday

Midwives ensure that there is one other qualified person with current CPR & NRP in attendance at each home birth. This could be another midwife, a nurse, a doctor, a paramedic or any other health care provider who can provide neonatal resuscitation within their profession.
