Nurse Midwife Care
Why do women choose nurse midwife care? Nurse midwife care:
- Features ample time during office visits for questions, helping women take a more active role in their health
- Has shown excellent clinical outcomes, including increased birth weights and reduced infant mortality, as well as high patient satisfaction scores
- Promotes lifelong care, encouraging good health habits and self-care practices needed for disease prevention
- Is rooted in advocacy and support for socioeconomic and cultural diversity, promoting individualized care that addresses a broad range of women's health issues
- Develops strong bonds with women and their families through constant and close communication, which enhances patient care and encourages better outcomes.
More specifically, women choose TriHealth Nurse Midwives care because we provide safe, satisfying care. All are certified nurse midwives (CNMs) licensed as independent practitioners with the Ohio Nursing Board to provide direct care. They are master's degree prepared registered nurses who are certified by the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM) and follow standards of care set forth by the ACNM and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).
