North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has paid tribute to the work of British Columbia's Midwives, the MLA delivering a statement Thursday to the Legislature that celebrated the profession as part of the 100th Anniversary of the International Confederation of Midwives.
Ms. Rice called attention to the critical role that Midwives play in the BC health care system and how through their work and specialized knowledge they reduce the burdens on hospitals across the province.
