from Better Health magazine, Spring, 2005

Women who have regular, professional prenatal care have a much greater likelihood of having healthier babies.

Women in Pittsylvania County now have access to outstanding obstetrical care through our new OB satellite clinic, located at our Family Health Care Center in Gretna.

"Our new clinic started seeing patients on April 7, and will be staffed by a certified nurse midwife," said Tamara Hunt, COO, Ambulatory Services of Danville.

We provide routine prenatal visits and care here, which is s so convenient for our patients," said Robin Dillard, Certified Nurse Midwife, Nurse Practitioner. "When there is a need for more advanced procedures, such as ultrasound, patients can receive services at Danville Regional, which also has a state-of-the-art Women and Children's Center with comfortable and spacious labor/delivery/recovery rooms."

Dillard says that the community has welcomed her as a certified nurse midwife. "My training as a nurse mid-wife and a nurse practitioner is a great combination in meeting the obstetrical healthcare needs of women. I'm really enjoying the opportunity to serve the community."
