Midwifery
Midwives are professionals who aid in the processes of labor, delivery and postpartum care. Midwifery minimizes the level of medical intervention during pregnancy and delivery, though midwives can still be present during a hospital delivery.

Midwifery services we offer
If you're an expectant mother, our midwives will treat you and your child with the compassion you deserve. We also provide a broad range of gynecological services, including exams and contraceptive counseling.
Specialized women's care
Our CNMs are registered nurses with specialized, advanced training and certification in women’s care. A midwife is a medical professional who provides prenatal, labor, delivery and postpartum care.
You might choose a midwife for your prenatal care if you're interested in unmedicated childbirth. You might also desire to have a provider who shares a holistic care philosophy.
CNMs support your goal to have as few medical interventions as possible. Our midwives are highly experienced with administering nonmedical treatments. They provide emotional and psychological support, as well as physical care, during and after your pregnancy.
Our CNMs work closely with you to understand your goals and expectations for pregnancy and childbirth. We empower you by supporting your right to choose the care strategies you prefer and that you believe will lead to the best outcomes.
Pregnancy and childbirth services
Much like an obstetrician (OB), CNMs provide education, counseling and clinical care before and during your pregnancy, such as:
- Addressing health concerns such as diet, exercise and medications during pregnancy
- Assisting with cesarean sections
- Collaborating with other providers on high-risk pregnancy
- Counseling on family planning and preconception services
- Handling pregnancy complications
- Helping create your birth plan
- Monitoring your overall well-being during pregnancy
- Performing pelvic ultrasounds
- Performing prenatal exams and testing requests
- Providing referrals to one of our physicians as necessary
Your midwife will also support you during childbirth and postpartum. Our CNMs and expert physicians have a collaborative relationship, working together on your behalf.
Gynecological services
We also offer services for your lifetime care journey, including your first menstrual cycle and menopause. Our midwives work with our other women's healthcare professionals to provide these gynecological services:
- Annual gynecologic care and exams

- Intrauterine device (IUD) insertion and removal
- Menopausal care

Access to specialized pediatric healthcare
We want to be there for your children, too. If your child needs additional medical care after birth, our physicians and midwives can connect you with a skilled pediatric doctors in our network. Together with these doctors, we recognize your child's individual needs and we're committed to providing the level of care they deserve.
