Drawing from the personal narratives of Alberta midwives and the families they serve, the Alberta Midwives: Our Stories podcast provides an intimate glimpse into the expertise, heart and soul of Alberta's leading perinatal care providers and the people with whom they collaborate. Through our inspiring, informative and sometimes challenging conversations, host Dr. Lolly de Jonge will explore Alberta's midwifery roots, the current state and each midwife’s vision for the future, all within the context of the broader perinatal care landscape.

They chat about the why, what and how of interprofessional collaboration, the impacts of COVID-19 on maternity care practices, and how building a collaborative culture that is rooted in respect, understanding and communication can improve birth outcomes and experiences for Alberta families.
