During a recent government meeting, a discussion centered on the establishment of a new chiropractic and wellness center, \"Free to Be,\" located in Addison. The center aims to integrate a comprehensive approach to maternal health, addressing the pressing maternal health crisis in the United States, which has the highest maternal mortality rate among developed nations.

The center's founder, a chiropractor and former professor at Parker University in Dallas, outlined the professional staff structure, which will include chiropractors, an operations team led by Hannah Felice, support staff, and interns. The facility will also serve as a training ground for students from Parker University, allowing them to gain practical experience through shadowing and seminars.

A significant focus of the center will be on prenatal care, inspired by the founder's commitment to motherhood and the recognition of the challenges faced by mothers today. The founder emphasized that healing mothers is essential for healing communities, stating, \"When you heal the mother, you heal the world.\" The center aims to provide a supportive environment not only for mothers but also for fathers and the broader community.

While specific services under the prenatal component were not detailed in the meeting, the founder's vision suggests a holistic approach to maternal health, potentially including chiropractic care, educational resources, and community support initiatives. The initiative reflects a growing awareness of the need for improved maternal health services and aims to create a positive impact on families and communities.
