The center was named after the late Ms. Witting to honor her 33-year career as a nurse, according to a May 25 hospital news release. She also served as a public health nurse supervisor within the division of maternal and child health for the city of Toledo.
The Witting Perinatal Wellness Center provides care during the “fourth trimester,” a term used to describe the first 12 weeks following birth, including follow-up visits, breastfeeding consultations and behavioral healthcare. The center was supported by two $250,000 gifts and a $40,000 fund to be put toward renovations. The center, which opened in February 2022, has already hosted more than 1,500 postnatal visits.
