From start to finish, here’s why the Bay of Quinte region is the smart choice for your health in the long run.
Pre-Birth
The Quinte Midwives are a team of primary health care professionals who are experts in low-risk pregnancy births and newborn care. They promote a natural approach to childbirth and work with doctors, dietitians, and therapists.
