Fort Smith NT X0E 0P0
Mission or Purpose:
The philosophy of the Maternity Care Program is consistent with the Vision, Mission, and Values of the Fort Smith Health & Social Services Authority, and is in keeping with the Philosophy of Midwifery Care in the NWT:
Midwifery care is based on a respect for pregnancy as a state of health and childbirth as a normal physiological process. Given that there is a great range of "normal" in pregnancy and childbirth, any decision to intervene in the natural process is made only after thoughtful and careful assessment. When pregnancy and birth deviate from normal or become complicated, supportive and appropriate care assists women to maintain a healthy perspective on the childbearing experience.
The practice of midwifery is founded on the understanding that pregnancy, labour and birth are profound experiences that carry significant meaning for a woman, her family and her community. Midwives acknowledge the social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological as well as physical aspects of these lifecycle events and strive to help women and their families to move through these transforming experiences safely and with power and dignity.
Midwifery care is woman-centred and family-centred and responds to the unique strengths and needs of each woman and her family.
Midwives respect and support women as primary decision-makers who are capable of making thoughtful and appropriate choices for themselves and their babies based on current information available to them, in accordance with their own values and belief systems.
Midwives promote wellness in women, babies and families through the provision of a continuum of care from the preconception period right through to the period of infancy and early parenting. Midwives work with women and their family members to encourage awareness, self-care, and growth in a manner that is flexible, creative, empowering and supportive.
Midwives honour traditional and cultural birth practices. Midwives embrace the diversity of cultural lifestyles and strive to understand the wisdom of elders’ teachings and the contributions of traditional midwifery.
Programs, Products or Services:
The maternity care team provides the following spectrum of services to women and their families, as required:
