Midwife joins north zone AHS

Tamar Quist, with baby Peter and his mom, became the first midwife to work in Alberta Health Services north zone. Her midwife services are being offered at a clinic based in High Level and through prenatal and postpartum outreach programs in La Crete. Midwives are fully responsible for examinations, assessment of risk, screening and diagnostic tests, and collaborating with other health professionals when necessary. Registered midwives in Alberta have hospital privileges in Alberta Health Services facilities, allowing them to provide care to their patients in specific hospitals across the province.
