Midwifery Care – A Holistic Approach
Today, more women are choosing midwifery care. That’s why The Woman’s Center offers the option of a certified nurse-midwife.

Midwife means "with woman," and for centuries midwife has described the person who was “with women” in childbirth. Our certified nurse-midwives are registered nurses with master’s degree, post master’s training and are board-certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. They work with our physicians in collaboration, consultation and referrals as needed. In the event a patient’s care exceeds the scope of midwifery care, Charles Miller, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., is the supervising provider for the midwives.

Although midwives are probably best known for their support of women during labor and delivery, modern midwifery has expanded that role. Midwives today provide health care for women throughout their lifetimes, from first pelvic exams to pregnancy, childbirth and beyond.

You’ll appreciate the holistic approach that our certified nurse-midwives bring to health care, and their keen understanding of women’s unique physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
