About
Our Founding Team consists of Dr. Stephanie Hedstrom and Sherokee Ilse.
Both live in Tucson and sought to create a model of care that can be replicated in other communities.
Our mission is to offer a comprehensive, sensitive, empowering program of compassionate care to parents
as soon as possible upon receiving devastating news in their pregnancy. Since parents get no 'do-overs' when they have a fragile pregnancy or a baby dies...we seek to empower families to make the best decisions, create special memories and minimize regrets which impede healing. The sooner we can help inform and support patients, the less fear they will have. When one can prepare well for this type of experience, fear and anxiety are greatly reduced.
We care and we work to lovingly support parents and their families at the time of loss and over time!
