Prenatal Care:

The Algoma NPLC’s dedicated well-qualified clinicians offer prenatal care for pregnant patients. Regular appointments with a Nurse Practitioner will be scheduled during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy. After 20 weeks care will be transferred to OBGYN or to the Prenatal Care Clinic at Sault Area Hospital.

At each appointment the clinician will provide opportunity for patients to ask questions and address any concerns that may come up.
