Midwife
The philosophy of nurse-midwifery care "is focused on the needs of the individual and family for physical care, emotional
and social support and active involvement of significant others according to cultural values and personal preferences."
Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) focus on you -- the woman, the mother, the child, the
father, the partner, the grandparent, the sibling, the relative, the friend -- while providing health care to women and newborns
Making sound decisions is key to good health care, and nurse- midwives want you to take an active role in making the right
decisions for you and your family.
