Here's a link to an editorial published in the December 2010 issue of The Journal of Family Practice.

"It’s time to collaborate—not compete—with NPs" by Jeff Susman, MD

He says, "Let’s celebrate differences in practice, explore opportunities for collaboration, and develop diverse models of care." That sounds GREAT to us!

The cost of family health insurance premiums in Colorado increased 40 percent from 2003 to 2009, according to research released this week by The Commonwealth Fund.

In 2009, family premiums consumed 16.4 percent of median household income for family households where everyone was younger than 65. That's up from 14.5 percent of median household income in 2003. The average deductible for families in Colorado increased 69 percent during the same period.

The Affordable Care Act offers some hope for families struggling with rising costs, though, The Commonwealth Fund said.

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We're thanksful for so many of our families for their support and encouragement and love! Below are reviews of Mountain Midwifery Center written on our Facebook page.

Thanks again!

We're excited to see a mainstream magazine, Sojourners, cover this story in their current issue... http://www.sojo.net/  Below is an excerpt but get your hands on a copy of it to read the whole thing!
