As I close this chapter of my life and retire after 40 years as a midwife, my heart is filled with gratitude. I do want to say that I could have never made it through those 40 years without Jesus by my side. He is and has been my strength and confidence. There were a many a night that He sustained me.
During my career, I have been honored to attend more than 1,245 births, each one unique and each one a reminder of the miracle of birth. Thank you for trusting me with your pregnancies, your births, your joys, your fears, and your growing families. Being invited into such a sacred season of your lives has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.
Over the years, we celebrated the arrival of 410 beautiful babies born within the walls of the birth center. Every birth has its own story, and every family has left a lasting imprint on my heart. When I look at the footprints on the wall a whole story unfolds.
I am excited to see Jubilee Birth Center continue its mission under wonderful new leadership. Please join me in welcoming the new owners, Derek and Amy Kirbow. Amy, an experienced midwife, shares the same commitment to providing exceptional, family-centered maternity care. They will also be welcoming Midwife Lindsay Kroskob to the team, bringing even more experience and compassion to the families they serve.
I am grateful that Angel Fulton will continue to be a familiar and caring presence at the birth center. Many of you already know and love her, and I know she will continue to provide the warmth and support that has always been part of the Jubilee family.
Midwifery has never simply been a profession for me—it has been my calling, my joy, and one of God’s greatest gifts in my life.
Thank you for allowing me to witness so many miracles and for making this journey more meaningful than I could have ever imagined. I leave with immense gratitude, countless treasured memories, and complete confidence that Jubilee Birth Center’s future is bright.
May God continue to bless each of you and the families yet to come through the doors of Jubilee Birth Center.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Toni Kimpel
