It has been said that God is in the details. Not only is that true, but His attention to the details as it relates to Obria is a thing of wonder and awe. There is nothing too small to escape His notice, and there is nothing so big that it would cause Him to withdraw…

In spite of current social restrictions, two of our Thrive moms with back-to-back Baby Boutique shopping appointments found space to reconnect on the steps of Obria Medical Clinics.

Shantelle* visited Obria for a pregnancy test and at the onset of the appointment, she appeared very guarded and distant.
