"We've been waiting months for this moment, and it's finally here," said Cannon. "It is an honor to bring midwifery into a hospital setting for the first time in Conejo Valley. Now, families don't have to choose between the warm, compassionate care of a midwife and the security of hospital-based birth-you can have both."
For years, many expectant parents in the region have had to choose between home births, birth centers, or traditional hospital care. By bridging that gap, The Midwife & More provides a unique opportunity: the comfort of individualized midwifery care alongside the reassurance of advanced hospital support when needed. Christy is excited to be the first hospital midwife in the Conejo Valley's local delivery hospital.
