PRACTICE NEWS


The Artificial Insemination program will be up and running very soon. Megan MacInnes has worked hard to make this happen. The program will be located at the Mill St Office in Arlington. We are very excited to be able to offer another valuable service to our clients.

The Latina Doulas are now available to all Spanish speaking midwifery patients! The doulas provide professional labor support and help with communication between patients and providers. This is funded by a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts grant.

MAMA is exploring the possibility of starting a drop-in postpartum support group in Arlington. This would be open to all MAMA clients and anyone in the community who would be interested in stopping by. More information coming soon! Be sure to ask your midwife about it.

Student update:
