Midwifery
Midwives are professionals who aid in the processes of labor, delivery and postpartum care. Midwifery minimizes the level of medical intervention during pregnancy and delivery, though midwives can still be present during a hospital delivery.

Midwifery care for pregnancy, labor and delivery
Midwives are experts in pregnancy and childbirth. They can care for you throughout your pregnancy journey, consulting with an obstetrician gynecologist (OBGYN) when necessary. Our midwives also help you personalize your birth plan by taking time to understand your preferences and educate you on your options.
Additionally, when you partner with one of our midwives for your prenatal care, you gain access to our hospital-based birth centers.
