Glenmore Maternity

We have some new faces around here! Dr. Julie McSweeny has joined the Glenmore team to cover Dr. Robertson’s maternity leave. Here’s a little bit more about her:

My name is Julie and I’ve lived in Alberta for the past 20 years. I finished my undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Calgary in 2015 and then headed to Edmonton for four years for medical school. I decided to come back to Calgary for residency and am thrilled to be starting my work in this city! I love hiking and biking in the summer and love staying warm in the Alberta winter. You can often find me spending time with my wonderful fiancé or big family (in a pandemic free world). I am passionate about providing comprehensive maternal and newborn care and am excited to be a part of this amazing team!

Welcome Dr. McSweeny!

We have some new faces around here! Dr. Rae Cantlon has joined the Glenmore team to cover Dr. Grainger’s maternity leave. Here’s a chance to get to know a little bit more about her:

I am originally from Ontario, but Calgary has been home for medical school, residency, and the enhanced skills program in Maternal Newborn Care which I completed in February of this year. Since then, I’ve been covering locums in Canmore doing family medicine and low-risk OB and currently work in low-risk OB at the Foothills and in High River in addition to Rockyview, as well as some breastfeeding medicine in the community and soon I will be joining a virtual women’s mental health focused counselling clinic. I’m passionate about women’s health, maternal and newborn care, and mental health.
If I’m not working, I can be found doing barre classes (at home now) or running the trails in South Calgary with my husband and our dog, Koda!
I’m really looking forward to working with the Rockyview group again :)

Welcome Dr. Cantlon!

Update: Support Person Policy in Clinic and Hospital

Please note - your designated support person must be feeling well. They cannot have a positive or pending swab for COVID-19, any recent exposures to COVID-19, or have travelled outside Canada in the last 14 days.

Clinic: we’re happy to welcome back your support person to your prenatal/postpartum visits!

Hospital - Triage/Antepartum: still ONE support person, and for now they cannot ‘swap out’ with another person.

Hospital - Labour and Delivery: once you are admitted to L+D you are welcome to have the usual TWO support people!

Hospital - Post Partum Unit: the same TWO people you had on L+D are welcome on the post partum unit … just ONE AT A TIME please!

If you’re ever worried or unsure, you can call (403) 244-8351 and you will be connected with a Registered Nurse who will talk through your concerns and give advice.
