 | What's New... |  | Beach Cities Midwifery is coming to CORONA, Summer 2014 
  We are excited to announce that our practice is expanding to the Inland Empire.  This summer, Beach Cities Midwifery and Women's Healthcare is opening their 3rd location in the greater Corona area. The lease has not been finalized but we are expecting to be located near the 91/15 freeways and utilizing Corona Regional Hospital as our back-up transfer facility.  We look forward to bringing the full resources, networks, and expertise of Beach Cities Midwifery to the women of the greater Inland Empire. We are currently accepting patients for Fall 2014 deliveries at our Corona birth center and have available prenatal appointments at our Laguna Hills or Long Beach locations.    |

  Caroline Price has been with Beach Cities for the past year and a half. She received her Bachelor's degree from Azusa Pacific University in 2000 and her Master's in Nursing from California State University Fullerton in 2010. She has been a midwife for 4 years and so far has delivered over 650 babies in that time. Prior to that, she was a labor and delivery nurse for 21 years. She is a part-time midwife at Kaiser Permanente, Orange County and enjoys being able to bring her experience in out-of-hospital birth to assist those patients who desire natural birth in the hospital setting. She has been married to her husband, Darryl, for almost 28 years and is mom to Courtney (31), Kiersten (24) and Daniel (23), who were all delivered by a midwife. In her (not so frequent) spare time she enjoys reading, exercise, travel, and most of all spending time with her two granddaughters, Erin and Audrey.  |

                  | | Announcement |  | Rate Increase effective June 1, 2014 
 
 
It is with great regret that we have to increase our fees for our birthing services. Due to recent spikes in costs of our supplies, medications and licensing fees, we are increasing our costs by 9% to $6000. We did not increase our rates during the worst of the recession and have been impacted by increased costs for several years.  Therefore, we have no choice but to raise our overall costs.  
 All existing pregnant patients and those who received an estimate prior to June 1, 2014 will not be impacted by this rate hike and their original estimate will be honored. However, all estimates given after June 1, 2014 will be subject to the rate increase.  
 If you have any questions, concerns or comments please contact Chris Snell by email or by phone, (949) 215-7575.  |
