...and we're back!

Wow, time has flown and there hasn't been much any activity on this blog for quite a few months. My apologies. We've had a pregnancy (Asheya), a miscarriage (me), and lots of travelling and holidays and unfortunately this blog sort of fell through the cracks. But there has been lots going on in our work to get midwifery integrated into the Yukon health system.

In a nutshell, there have been meetings with Health and Social Services, a process established for getting midwifery regulated, a working group put together to work on that process, as well as two meetings of that working group.

Asheya is working on a summary of what we've accomplished so far, and that should be posted soon. We have ideas for more education campaigns we can do over the next little while, and we're still thinking about getting a screening of the movie I wrote about in my last post. Plus we have some birth stories that are getting polished up that we'll be able to share with you soon.

Stay tuned!
