We have some difficult news to share with our Health Nest family and those who have come to know and love our founder and clinic midwife, Carrie Sizer.
Carrie has been diagnosed with a Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which presents with symptoms similar to a stroke. This has impacted her ability to work and be present with patients as she normally would.
Carrie is currently staying at the rehabilitation unit at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, where she is receiving the professional care and support she needs. She has expressed deep gratitude for the many messages and kind words sent her way. While she does not have the energy to reply, please know your compassion is felt and appreciated.
At this time, Vernon Midwifery is not offering midwifery care. We are actively working on a transition plan and hope to resume service in a timely fashion. We will continue to keep the Vernon Midwifery website updated as we know more.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. Please join us in sending love, strength, and healing to Carrie and her family.
