The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital welcomed Lauren Tignanelli as its first hospital-based midwife last summer.
Tignanelli has been in the role for about four months now and tells our Lynda D’Aoust, that its been so far, so good.
She told Lynda, her role aims to improve maternal and infant health by offering expectant patients and birthing persons personalized care options.
As part of her role, she collaborates with obstetricians to participate in the weekly Obstetrical Clinic. That allows expectant mothers to become familiar with Lauren and other care providers before their due date.
When it announced she was joining the team, the Hospital called Lauren’s addition a significant step toward enhancing local healthcare services and supporting families in the community.
