Every family deserves the opportunity to welcome their baby close to home, surrounded by the people who matter most.
This week, Queensland Country Life shared the story of three sisters who each chose to have their babies here in Toowoomba.
Their story reflects something many regional families value: being able to have their baby closer to home. There are times when we lean on our colleagues and their expertise in bigger centres and we love that network of care. Whenever we can though, staying connected to family, friends, work and community can make an enormous difference during pregnancy, birth and those first few weeks with a newborn.
I’m proud to practise at St Vincent’s Private Hospital Toowoomba—a hospital with a long and proud history of caring for families across our region.
Thank you to Brooke, Courtney and Libby for generously sharing your story, and to Queensland Country Life for shining a light on the value of keeping exceptional maternity care closer to home for families across regional Queensland.
