What is a Nurse-Midwife?

A nurse-midwife can provide care for women from adolescence through menopause. This includes birth control, annual exams, pap smears, and all types of gynecological issues. Nurse-midwives also specialize in low-risk pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn care (up to 28 days of life). They are the experts in normal. While there are many different types of midwives, our certified nurse midwives (CNM) complete rigorous and intensive educational programs and are licensed by the state and nationally. They have achieved a Master’s or Doctoral level of education and can perform services including labs, genetic testing, wellness screenings, and much more. They offer evidence-based care, and continually educate and allow you to feel supported while making the best decisions for you and your family.
