SANDPOINT — Helping to fill the gap in local women’s healthcare resources after Bonner General Health shut down its OB-GYN wing earlier this year, Psalms of Women was opened in September.

“It’s our joy to be able to bring our services to the community,” said co-founder Leah Schroeder. “It’s also with some sorrow, as we have discovered some women have had to deal with improper healthcare and malpractice.”

Psalms of Women, located in downtown Sandpoint and started by Schroeder and Brenna Schwartzel, is not just a resource center, but also a team of birth keepers — also known as doulas — and women’s holistic health advocates and educators.
