Vancouver — The Vancouver Clinic will take over Pacific Midwifery Services starting June 1. The change means The Vancouver Clinic will have 11 midwives able to provide labor and delivery services at both Vancouver hospitals.
Certified nurse midwife and Pacific Midwifery Services owner Kathleen Hensch-Fleming is retiring, which made the merger possible. Certified nurse midwives Donna Stiles, Patty Kartchner and Lori Watson will join The Vancouver Clinic’s OB-GYN and midwifery practice. They will continue delivering babies at Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, offering water births and helping to increase the number of patients The Vancouver Clinic is able to serve, according to a news release.
Patients who want to schedule appointments after June 1 with one of the three Pacific Midwifery Services midwives can call 360-397-3838.
