There is a new midwife in Chatham-Kent.
Kara Vandersluis has joined the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance and Midwives Chatham-Kent.
“We are excited to welcome Kara to the organization,” said Dr. Zeke Milkovic, acting chief of staff at CKHA, in a media release. “Her professional experience and strong ties to the Chatham-Kent community make her an invaluable asset. With her arrival, we continue our commitment to providing high-quality, compassionate care, and we are confident that Kara will make a positive impact on the lives of many.”
As a graduate of Laurentian University with a Bachelor of Sciences degree specializing in midwifery, Vandersluis brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to her new role. Following her graduation, she worked with the Midwifery Services of Durham, where she provided care for a diverse population in a midwifery-led hospital unit at Markham Stouffville Hospital. She later continued her work with Family Care Midwives Vaughan before relocating back home to Chatham-Kent.
“I am so grateful for the opportunity to return back home to Chatham-Kent to be near my family. Providing high-quality midwifery care to the mothers in my hometown is vitally important to me,” said Vandersluis.
