Latest News

Homestyle Midwifery is intending to reopen as a private practice. Our new office will be at 1201 Noe Street in San Francisco; we will be sharing the office with our friends at Chinese Medicine Works. We were hoping to be up and running by January 2008. We were planning to continue to attend births at St. Luke's Hospital, the 4th campus of California Pacific Medical Center.

However on October 21, 2007 CPMC announced its plan to close inpatient services at St. Luke’s Hospital, including obstetrics and pediatrics, in 2009. This would mean a big change in our plans. There is a groundswell of community members and health-care practitioners as well as members of the SF city government who are working to keep St. Luke’s open. (see www. SAVE ST. LUKE'S)

At this moment because we don’t know St. Luke’s future, we cannot give you exact information about the availability of our services. We will have more news at the end of August 2008. Until then, if you are interested in becoming a new client of Homestyle Midwifery in 2008,
