Manassas Midwifery and Women’s Health Center and Dumfries Midwifery and Pediatric Care Center welcome Spring by celebrating baby number 500. Janay Stephens gave birth to Ajonni Stephens-Bolden (6 lbs., 11 oz.) at 4:55 p.m. on April 9 at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.
“I was very excited,” Stephens said, while holding baby Ajonni, who was past his due date, feeling relieved that he had finally arrived. Stephens also praised Dumfries Midwifery stating, “You guys are excellent!”
The four-year-old practice, which opened a sister office in Dumfries last September, provides midwifery, women’s, and pediatric health care for insured, uninsured, under-insured or Medicaid eligible women who prefer the services of midwives and advanced practice nurses. The practice is managed by Sheila Mathis-a certified nurse midwife- and her husband, Derrick, who is an ordained minister.
In celebration of the recent birth of baby Ajonni, a significant milestone the four-year-old Manassas Midwifery presented a basket of gifts to Janay and her baby boy.
