We believe in offering as many birthing options as possible, including vaginal birth after Cesarean (VBAC). Our providers consult with patients and the care team to determine if this option is appropriate, and if so, provide the care patients need along the way.
Patients can receive the best of both worlds in a safe and supportive environment.
Our certified nurse midwives (CNMs) are registered nurses who have earned a graduate degree in midwifery or midwifery education, plus certification from the American College of Nurse-Midwives. Midwifery focuses on the understanding that pregnancy and delivery are natural processes, and that through patient education and patient-centered care, optimal health outcomes can be achieved.
From aromatherapy to nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to completely natural birth, we offer the latest options to maximize each patient's comfort.
From preparing for the birth of your baby to bringing your baby home, our team is here to help with our Mother/Baby Education Program.
We are committed to caring for you even after you leave with your baby. Contact us if you need assistance or get in touch with one of these resources:
