Our Story
The WoMB (Women-Mother-Baby) Clinic is a part of the Wingate University Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program (WUOTD) in the town of Wingate, North Carolina. The WUOTD program's mission to serve the local community first started with a student-run occupational therapy (OT) clinic serving the adult and pediatric populations of Union, Anson, and surrounding counties. As this clinic prospered, members of the WUOTD faculty identified a gap in comprehensive therapy services for the women, mothers, and babies of the region. With nearly 80 years of combined clinical experience in the related areas of pelvic floor therapy, infant-mother dyads, and infant and child development, four WUOTD faculty members began to put a plan in place to address this important need, while also providing OT students the opportunity for observation of and interaction with this niche clinical practice area. After receiving a $10,000 grant from the Foundation for a Health Carolinas, the (WoMB) Women-Mother-Baby clinic was born and only 6 months later, was ready to provide holistic occupational therapy services to this unique population while preparing future occupational therapists to do the same.
