Riverdale Community Midwives was founded in 1994. Riverdale midwives provide primary care to people and their babies throughout their low-risk pregnancy, labour and birth. We continue to care for new parent and newborn until 6 weeks postpartum. Riverdale midwives specialize in childbearing as a normal and healthy event in a person's life. We provide compassionate client-centered care with a focus on prevention and health-promotion. We have a strong commitment to avoiding unnecessary medical interventions and believe in using medication and technology wisely. When choosing a midwife you will be offered informed choice, continuity of care and choice of birthplace.
