I am a current patient of the Seven Hills West Fork location. I have been a patient of Cheyenne Brown APRN, CNM for over 6 years. She has been an integral part of the conception, prenatal care and delivery of all of my children. I am extremely disappointed in the decision to terminate all of the midwives serving the West Fork office location. This is a significant loss to our community, leaving local families with fewer choices for reproductive care and no access to midwifery services.
I am currently 34 weeks pregnant with my third and have now been forced to completely replan my labor and birth plans. My freedom of choice has been torn away from me and burden added. All during a pivotal time in which I should be focusing on my health and my family. I now must sincerely weigh the options of leaving the practice this far into my pregnancy verses remaining and continuing to support an organization that doesn’t support my health as the patient. Both options are stressful and neither is ideal.
