Nurse Midwifery
Obstetrics and Gynecology
(Nurse Midwifery)

"It is an honor to be able to walk alongside women and their families during the transformative journey into parenthood. I absolutely love birth and am proud of all of the options that we offer our clients: from the lowest technology to the highest, from hydrotherapy and aromatherapy in the Birth Center to epidural anesthesia on Labor & Delivery. As midwives, we really want to support women and their families in having the birth experience they desire and to achieve healthy and satisfying outcomes."
