I am writing as a mother, architect and a neighbor.

I am outraged and saddened that you are intending to take away the best center for natural and safe birth in San Francisco. Our daughter was born in June 2006 and we were delighted by the professionalism of Dr. Norrell’s team and Home style Midwifery group. It was a safe and natural birth, like few places offer in this country.Your neighborhood needs you, your specific services are not offer anywhere else in the city. I have to stress the fact that more options for natural Chilbirth have to be provided and not removed. It is a need for those who want to give birth in a safe environment with a natural approach. We want the option. My husband was born at St-Lukes and so his daughter, 33 Years later. We intend to have more kids, we will be absolutely lost if you close this facility.

No other place in San Francisco has been up to our expectations.I believe that you need to hear us. For the future of our family and our children to come, please stay to make our neighborhood a better place with quality services and care.

Sincerely,
Martine Paquin
Your neighborhood
