MOA

I am thankful for the opportunity to work with the team of professionals at the Chickadee Maternity Collaborative clinic. I’ve enjoyed working with the lovely people at the Dawson Creek Health Unit since May. When I’m not working I spend as much time as possible with my two wonderful children. I think that this new clinic is going to be a blessing to our community.

Dr. Magda du Plessis

MBChB, DFM, CCFP

I am a medical doctor in primary and advanced obstetrics, operative delivery.

I joined the Mile Zero clinic in 2017. Born and raised in South Africa, my family and I relocated to Canada in 2010.

When I was in the 9th grade I first fell in love with medicine, especially maternal fetal medicine. I realized early on in my education and career that I had a passion for Women’s Health, Obstetrics and newborn care. There is a very special feeling that comes with the care of a patient during the journey of pregnancy, delivery and the first moments of celebration of a new life.

During my down time, I cherish spending it with my husband and two beautiful children. We love playing UNO, running around outside with our dogs, quadding, spending time with friends or just relaxing while we watch a movie. We are very excited that our vision for Chickadee is coming to life. Thank you to everyone involved and I look forward to the journey we are about to embark on!
