Congratulations Dr Wes Steed!
Dr Steed has always been an incredible supporter of midwives in our community, and collaborates with us and our clients regularly. He is compassionate, skilled and an inspiring colleague we have always been so grateful to work with 👏

🌟Recognizing the 2026 Rhapsody Award nominees! 🏆
Today we're highlighting Dr. Wes Steed of Taber, AB!..
A long-time Taber physician who admits he is hesitant to leave his patients without a doctor if he were to retire is being recognized by his community for his service.

Dr. Wes Steed was recently nominated for a 2026 RHPAP Rhapsody Physician Award.

“Dr. Steed’s best quality is doing good simply because it is the right thing to do,” writes Darryl Moser, a former school principal in supporting Dr. Steed’s nomination.

“It is this passion and commitment for helping others that makes him the perfect candidate for this recognition.”

Dr. Steed began practising in the Taber region 32 years ago. Dr. Andrea Hargrove describes her colleague as a “silent leader, the person you want by your side when a situation is going sideways.

“Quiet and effective, and though he may be sweating on the inside, he is calm in the storm, a quality that is of immeasurable importance to the medical team. He is admired by his team, from students to new grads and career-long medical professionals,” she says.

Even though he is often a mentor, he “also reaches out back to us for advice when he needs it.”

Dr. Steed’s dedication spans further than his Taber practice. During his off hours, he volunteers in the community for the Society for Taber’s Arts and Recreation, the Taber Food Bank, and abroad during humanitarian trips to places such as Fiji, Guatemala and Kenya to help with complex medical services.

“To list the many attributes of this fine physician would take multiple pages,” notes registered nurse Sarah Jordan, former Taber Health Centre site manager.

Better late than never! … I know it’s 3 months late - sorry! Turns out catching babies is busy and this post kept getting delayed.. hope you enjoy our 2025 review!

- Many of you will notice our home births are lower than previous years. We are attributing this to our wonderful Taber Hospital and how many families feel comfortable there

After a whirlwind January we had a few Midwives on holidays for Feb which means a lighter

Some special home births mean ALL the midwives join the party!

One of the lovely things about home birth is we can spread out in different rooms, be available when needed, then give the family space when needed.
Most of our time is spent holding space, watchful waiting and allowing the process to unfold ✨
