Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Hay River Health and Social Services Authority is excited to announce the birth of the first baby in Hay River with our new Midwifery Program.
---Applause
On Wednesday, February 25, 2015, the first Hay River mother who planned her birth in the community with a midwife delivery delivered a healthy baby boy, 7 pounds, 9.5 ounces. Mother and baby are doing well and were able to return home after 24 hours.
The staff at H.H. Williams were welcoming of the new child and honestly were very excited that they’ve been trained to take on this new responsibility and were excited that Hay River is going to be back on birth certificates.
I’d like to thank everybody in the House here that supported midwifery. We look forward to seeing Hay River on the birth certificates out there. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Bouchard. The Member for Deh Cho, Mr. Nadli.
