Providing care to pregnant people in
Sault Ste. Marie and the surrounding area.
Midwives of Algoma provide prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care.

Midwifery Model of Care

We are committed to providing high quality, culturally sensitive, safe and effective care to pregnant people and their families.

Informed Choice

Informed choice is a collaborative information exchange between a midwife and her client that supports client decision-making. Informed choice is a fundamental principle of midwifery care in Ontario.

On Call Availability

From the onset of your care, pregnancy, labour, birth, and first 6 weeks postpartum, midwives are available 24/7 for urgent situations.

You can expect a response to urgent pages within 15 minutes.

Confidentiality

Only midwives, student midwives and staff, have access to your file. Records will only be shared with others with your consent.

At your six-week follow up visit you may request a copy of your records.

When Should I Contact a Midwife?

We can not stress this enough – if you have taken a pregnancy test and would like to see a Midwife, call us as SOON as you get a positive result.

You do not need a referral or pregnancy confirmation from your NP or Family Doc, although we are happy to accept referrals from them. Call us ASAP to be placed with a Midwife.

We would LOVE to accommodate everybody but have limited spaces that fill up quickly so please do not wait to call!

Testimonials

The best birthing experience I could ask for. I am so happy I chose a midwife for my second child. The whole experience was beautiful, respectful and absolutely amazing. Andrea is a special human whose care and compassion shines through and is infectious. In a time where we can feel disconnected due to the pandemic I can honestly say she has a way to make you feel comfortable and supported in the best way possible. Thank you for everything.

I just want to take a minute and express my gratitude and say what a pleasure it was to have Amanda from Midwives Algoma as my midwife. She made a very painful experience more bearable and in fact pleasant. Her calm, friendly and soothing voice really makes you more comfortable in and extremely uncomfortable circumstances. Also I want to thank ALL the staff at Sault Area Hospital for treating us so well. Ill never forget this experience and be forever grateful for all the nurses, Staff and of course my wonderful midwife for making this a pleasant memorable experience. 💕🥰🙏

All I can say is wow! I had the best experience with Amanda and staff! My pregnancy was so great and I’m so happy I shared it with the midwives of Algoma.
