A certified nurse-midwife (CNM) is a health care provider educated in the two disciplines of nursing and midwifery. CNM’s provide care to women throughout the lifespan. Nurse-midwives have a special interest in providing time for questions and helping you to make informed choices about your care.

We recognize that each woman and family is unique. We recognize each woman's right to self-determination, privacy, and human dignity. Our focus is the promotion and preservation of health and the prevention of complications. We accomplish this using many tools, including health screening and education, encouraging active participation of women in decision-making, and attending to emotional and social needs of women as well as to their physical needs. We believe that pregnancy and birth are natural and healthy processes for the majority of women and babies. We welcome the arrival of each baby in a caring and loving manner. We recognize pregnancy as a special time in a woman's life, and offer our support to families so that they may not only have a satisfying experience, but ideally an experience of personal growth. We recognize that the birth experience can have a life-long impact on a woman's self-esteem, her health, and the health of the family unit.

We respect the value of technology, particularly for women whose pregnancies and care are considered "high risk." We are committed to developing a personalized plan of care and assisting women to enjoy a sense of normalcy and pride at the time of birth and throughout the lifespan. We believe that timely consultation, collaboration, and referral to further medical care as needed are fundamental for the safety and satisfaction of our clients.
