Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are licensed health care practitioners educated in the two disciplines of nursing and midwifery. They provide primary health care to women of childbearing age including: prenatal care, labor and delivery care, care after birth, gynecological exams, newborn care, assistance with family planning decisions, preconception care, menopausal management and counseling in health maintenance and disease prevention. CNMs attend over 9% of the births in the United States. 96% of these births were in hospitals.

Midwives know that healthy mothers mean healthy, happy babies and families. Midwives also know that a healthy lifestyle means taking care of you and your family every day, not just during pregnancy and birth. That's why midwives are committed to providing quality healthcare, from birth and beyond. Making a midwife your primary care provider means your midwife is there for gynecological care, breast exams, heart screenings, and more. You can receive adolescent and midlife care, as well as prenatal and pregnancy care all from the same place, with a midwife you trust.

Midwife care includes:

• Gynecological Care

• Menopause

• Adolescent Health

• Contraception
