Karen Perdion, CNM, MSN
Nurse Midwifery
Obstetrics and Gynecology
(Nurse Midwifery)
"I have always been fascinated and amazed by pregnancy and the birthing process. I became a nurse-midwife because I felt that I could empower women to make decisions about their health care during pregnancy and beyond."
As a nurse midwife, she is able to follow her patients through their entire pregnancy, rather than the short time she saw them as a labor and delivery nurse. She enjoys getting to know her patients and feels privileged to share one of the most important times of their lives.
