Doctor Christ-Ann Magloire, consults with patient Dominique Gray, who is nine months pregnant at Serenity Holistic OB/GYN Reseach & Wellness Spa in North Miami Beach, Florida on Friday, July 11, 2025. The Haitian-American OB-GYN has helped hundreds of mothers give birth, many at North Shore Medical Center, a North Miami-Dade hospital that for decades provided medical care to the surrounding communities of Little Haiti, North Miami, Miami Shores and El Portal. But North Shore’s labor and delivery unit closed last year, part of its cost-cutting efforts shortly before its owners Steward Health Care System filed for bankruptcy.
