Family Circle – First Session – Intro – February 2, 2022
February 2, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeWelcome aboard the Family Circle: Group Prenatal Care train!!! Throughout this journey we’ll do our best to provide you with top-notch care and presentations offered by local expert guest speakers, who volunteer their time and knowledge to our VWFW clients. If ever you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me, your train conductor, and I’ll do my best to address any issues. First, a few requests: I ask that you respect my time as well as our amazing guest speakers & midwives in replying to this email with your intention of attending this session (and to each email thereafter for each session) regardless if you intend to join us virtually or in-person. We limit our in-person attendees to a max of 8 couples and therefore have patients on the waitlist. When patients cancel at the last minute or just don’t show up that only isn’t nice, it’s not fair to the professionals who are taking time out of their busy days to offer this important information to you. If joining via zoom it’s also nice to know how many patients to expect. There isn’t a space limitation virtually but it’s just as respectful to keep an open line of communication with me regarding your intentions to attend this program.
We’re looking forward to meeting you on WED, FEB 2nd. Below you’ll find the details you’ll need about this first session. Kindly and respectfully, RSVP no later than MON, JAN 31st for this session. For our in-person patients who have an appointment with our Nurse Midwife, you will receive a text reminder which is generated by our office. I do not receive the notification. Therefore I typically ask that you email or text me your RSVP. These midwife eval patients need to arrive by 5:45pm. If you don’t remember which type of appointment you have, please reach out to me. I’m happy to help!!

VWFW LOCATION for FAMILY CIRCLE:
3370 S. Mercy Road
Suite 314
Gilbert, AZ 85297
From Val Vista Drive, turn at the light onto Mercy Road, passing Mercy Gilbert Medical Center. Look for our building, on the same side as MGMC that has a large red “Phoenix Children’s”, and a “Dignity Health” sign near the top of the building. Park in front of the building and take the elevator to the 3rd floor. Our VWFW will be immediately on your RIGHT when you exit the elevator.
GUEST SPEAKERS: Please be aware that we have a new location and plan to arrive before 7pm as the front doors automatically lock at 7pm. Come in, grab a snack, some water, and find a seat until it is your turn to present. (If you are joining via zoom, please sign in at arranged time).
IN-PERSON ATTENDEES: Since you indicated your desire to join us in-person, I have scheduled your appointments accordingly. Please arrive by 5:45-5:50pm so I can get you situated with everything before heading to your brief evaluation with the midwife. If you have opted to attend in-person and skip the midwife evaluation, please arrive by 6:15pm.
We will do our best to provide a 6’ distance between families. Please do your best to wear a mask throughout this in-person session, regardless of your vaccination status. If you are unable to keep this appointment, please contact me ASAP so I can make the necessary adjustments: alert another patient to an available spot, inform the midwife, and also in setting up the room. Remember, if you are unable to keep this (or any future) in-person appointment, you will need to call the VWFW office to reschedule. If you’d like to be rescheduled for FC for a make-up session, then contact me directly, and I’ll do my best to find a date for you.
While I cannot mandate that you activate your video during our sessions, I’d like to encourage you to keep your video on as much as possible. I appreciate and honor your choice to join us, from the comfort of your home. Please know that it’s awkward for us, as presenters, to speak to a blank screen. In this day and age of virtual technology – I urge you to try to connect with each other, and us, across your monitor. We love seeing your beautiful faces 🙂 !! Please sign on zoom no later than 6:15pm
Kate Lakritz is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
