This review is for the hospital cafe…read more I've eaten at this cafe many times and usually get a breakfast burrito after I've completed my labwork - it's a very good treat as a reward for fasting since the night before. However, on this occasion, the breakfast special was corned beef hash, 2 eggs & toast (all for six bucks!) so I had to order it instead of my regular burrito. I was not disappointed. The plate of food more than filled me up... in fact, I probably could have ordered the half-size and been happy but you know how it goes when you haven't eaten since the evening before. Eyes bigger than the stomach, you know. No, the corned beef hash was not house-made but it was still good. The sourdough toast was perfectly buttered and the two eggs were perfectly scrambled. Add a bit of Tabasco sauce (available in the little packets) and overall, my breakfast hit the spot. Hit ALL the spots. Service is with a smile, food is hot and filling, coffee is free, and seating is usually available. This little cafe is a nice addition to the hospital experience.

It is now mid August 2025 and My sister is still receiving care for her bowel obstruction bursting…read moreat Silverton. She now has dialysis three time a week. She never needed it before the bowel rupture. She now has an ileostomy. This happened In December of 2024. In stead of calling hospitals until they found one who could accept her they waited. You can not wait. She isn't even home yet. She was in intensive care for months. Now she in a care center and working on building strength to walk. It's in my opinion Pathetic that a hospital would let this happen.

Sarah was an absolute asset to my birth experience. This pregnancy was as a surrogate, which…read morerequired me to give birth in a hospital, so I knew I needed a coach and an advocate. My first and only other birth of my daughter, was attended by 2 midwives at home and was the best day of my life. So, I hired Sarah and Charli for their doula services and was comfortable with either attending, just happy I knew them and they understood me and my birth plan. Sarah showed up at our house right when the contractions kicked in. She guided me through them and made the call when it was time to walk to Providence Hospital. Along with my husband riding our cargo bucket bike and 9-year old daughter walking with me, we walked the 1/2 mile to the hospital, stopping every minute or two for me to lean against her and have a contraction. She provided me with shelter and guidance. When we got to the hospital, I was taken up to the birth center and learned I was 5 cm dilated and felt a sense of accomplishment. The final 5 occurred over 3 hours between the tub and the yoga ball in the bathroom. Sarah was my crutch during the hardest ones. My family doctor, who knew my birth plan well, showed up and they, along with the nurses, worked together to let me know it was time to get on the bed and push. I squatted in reverse on the bed, holding tight to the railings. With every push, I could feel baby Penelope make her way through the birth canal, with intense pressure. I asked Sarah to guide me through the ring of fire so I wouldn't tear. We took it slow, allowing the head to crown, stop, head halfway out and back in, stop, head out, stop, shoulder out, stop, arm out, stop and then her body fell gracefully to the bed between my legs. I scooped her up, the nurses helped me untangle from the cord so I could turn around and sit with her. They toweled Penelope off, I scooted over and her new mama came over crying and sat next to me and I got to hand over the most beautiful thing in the world to the person who had wanted her most. I looked up at the room and everyone was smiling and taking in the moment, including Sarah. This was the most magical day of my life. I can't recommend her and Charli enough. Having a doula or midwife is a serious luxury in giving birth and I also attribute my fast recovery (casually walking and biking within a week) to them. I needed no epidural, emergency treatments or stitches.

I've worked alongside Hearth & Home midwifery as a birth photographer, so I've gotten to witness…read moretheir approach to client care from a different perspective and it's hard to put into words the attention and tenderness they give to a laboring woman (so you should definitely look at these pictures!) I had the honor of documenting their work as midwives, their gentle touch, their commitment to asking for consent every time they have to check the heartbeat, their quick thinking in moments of uncertainty, their competency and their overall gentle nature and amazing personalities. It's important to consider all of these things when inviting somebody into your birth space and especially when choosing a provider to help you bring your baby earthside. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anybody considering a homebirth. And I can't wait to work with them again!
