Lastly, do not panic. We ARE NOT panicking. We are implementing measures that have been proven successful in areas that managed to slow the spread of this virus. Know that you can do this for others, and we will all get through it together with grace. Like the Willow tree, we are arduous and can weather this by bending and swaying to meet the needs of our staff, mothers and babies without breaking.  We care deeply for you and will be available for you whatever your needs are.

Keep calm, be kind, and love on…

Your Willow Team
