A midwives clinic in the South Okanagan will be closing its doors for good. Aly Jones is the co-founder of Willow Community Midwives in Penticton and vice president of the Midwives Association of British Columbia. She opened the practice in 2009, and it s currently the only midwives clinic in the South Okanagan. While there is still strong demand, Jones said it was closing due to burnout during COVID-19, with the lack of provincial support for maternity care providers and the inability to fill positions as they are vacated. There are fewer than 400 practicing midwives in B.C., and only four midwives at the clinic. When someone leaves due to sickness, there are too few to find a replacement.
