The Valley Hospital recently hosted a reunion and celebration for parents who had given birth through Valley's Center for Holistic Birth. The event gave parents a chance to socialize with each other and with staff who cared for them during their delivery.
The party drew families from throughout the area and included remarks by program coordinator Heidi Z. Brenner, CNM, a certified nurse-midwife and advanced practice holistic nurse; nurses, a midwife, and a physician. Families were offered complimentary family portraits.
