The
new Maternity Centre, built in the Medical Centre adjacent
to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, is approximately
5,900 square feet and will see individual Obstetricians, Family
Practitioners and Midwives working within a “bookable”
space to see their obstetrical patients.
The Centre will also be staffed by a variety of support professionals
including a Social Worker, Lactation Consultant, Diabetic
Educator and Dietitian; and, recognizing our unique cultural
demographic, a Native Liaison Worker to ensure efficient access
to the appropriate level of service and the associated care
provider. A smoking cessation program will also be offered.
Support services
are offered on a one-to-one basis and in group sessions. Examples
of group sessions include monthly breastfeeding and “Healthy
Weights Postpartum” classes. Referral to the Maternity
Centre Support Services can be made through your obstetrical
care provider. Talk to your health care provider about the
various services; contact the Maternity Centre Reception Desk
directly at 684-6228 to discuss availability, or check for
postings regarding upcoming group sessions, on the Maternity
Centre information board, at your next visit.
The Maternity Centre operates from Monday to Friday with
flexible hours and is located at 984 Oliver Road in the Medical
Centre, adjacent to Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre.
We are on the 4th floor, in suite #402.
