Beverly Hook Beverly Hook, whom many of you know as a Birth Assistant, soon will be joining Cherie as a staff midwife. Bev previously practiced home birth and has been an integral part of our center since we opened 18 years ago. She currently is completing her licensure as a Certified Professional Midwife. She will be seeing clients for prenatal visits as well as being on call for births. This marks the first time we have been able to utilize Bev’s midwifery talents because of a welcomed change by the American College of Nurse-Midwives and by our malpractice insurer, which now covers Certified Professional Midwives. Bev has five children, three of whom were born at home with Cherie. |
