We are trained to manage common complications that arise during birth and we carry much of the same emergency medications and equipment available at the hospital. If you need higher level care or intervention, we facilitate transport to a variety of providers in the DFW area.

Our training includes CPR, NPR, Birth Emergency Skills Training®, along with a number of continuing education courses in midwifery specific topics.
