What Services Does
Women's Wellness & Maternity Center
Provide For You?
Birth Center Birth
…is an option for healthy women who have a low risk pregnancy and feel most comfortable giving birth in a safe, home-like setting outside of the hospital. These women will have one-on-one continuous labor support from the Certified Nurse-Midwife, a variety of comfort techniques including the labor pool, freedom of movement, birth stool, and medications (if requested). In addition, the family will not be separated from the baby. Physicians are available for consultation and to assist if complications arise during labor or delivery.
Hospital Birth
…is an option for those women who feel more comfortable giving birth in a hospital setting. The nurse-midwives will provide personalized care and work as part of a collaborative team with physicians at the hospital for higher-risk patients.
Doula's are available for either a Center birth or hospital birth.

Well Woman Care
…is provided to women from adolescence through menopause by our all woman staff. Services include family planning, annual physicals (including Pap smears and breast exams), and Gyn issues like irregular bleeding, painful intercourse, sexual drive issues, and urinary tract infections. In addition, we have a strong focus on health promotion and education. We work with a team of physicians and can consult or refer for issues beyond the scope of midwifery.
