A milestone for maternity care in Chilliwack, and one made possible by an incredible community.
The Chilliwack Maternity Care Clinic, Ehó:temáwtxw, meaning “a home to wrap someone in care” has officially celebrated its grand opening at Chilliwack General Hospital.
Created in response to the growing need for maternity care providers in our region, the clinic is already making an impact. Since opening in June, approximately 1,096 unique patients have received care through more than 2,800 patient encounters.
This clinic is the result of collaboration, commitment and a shared belief that local families deserve access to compassionate maternity care close to home.
The Chilliwack Hospital Foundation is proud to stand alongside the Chilliwack Obstetrical Group, Dr. Alison Henry and registered midwife Winifred Angus, the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, Fraser Health, Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation, our Indigenous partners, health-care teams, local businesses, donors and community members who helped bring Ehó:temáwtxw to life.
A very special thank you to our local McDonald’s partners for their significant and ongoing commitment through McDonald’s for Maternity. This partnership has rallied our community around maternity care and helped the Foundation invest directly in the equipment and resources needed to support mothers, babies and families right here at home.
To every donor, partner, health-care professional and community member who has been part of this journey, THANK YOU!
Ehó:temáwtxw is a beautiful example of what can happen when a community comes together to care for its own.
Together, we are helping wrap Chilliwack families in care.
