Dear Neighbors, I am writing as the executive director of The Midwife Center for Birth & Women's Health, a nonprofit, freestanding, and state-licensed birth center located in the Strip District. We recently started a midwife fellowship program at The Midwife Center for new midwife graduates to get experience at our center for 6 months to a year and as a way to attract more applicants from different parts of the country, we would like to secure a housing situation for a fellow during this time. Right now, we are looking for a fellow to be here from February to August of next year. If anyone has some rental space available during this time, I would appreciate hearing from you. Please contact me at The Midwife Center at 412-321-6884 or c.haas(a)midwifecenter.org. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thanks so much. Christine
