Midwifery
What is a Certified Nurse Midwife?
We are women's health care specialists, trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of issues that women may encounter throughout their lives. From delivering babies to independently treating women's health conditions, our expertise is backed by established guidelines and evidence-based practices. In addition to prenatal care and childbirth, midwives also provide general women’s health care. This includes annual exams, preventive care, and contraception counseling.
Our CNMs are registered nurses that must graduate from a master's or higher-level nurse-midwifery program, pass the national Certified Nurse-Midwife Examination through the American Midwifery Certification Board and hold state licensure.
