Certified Nurse-Midwives in Southwest Virginia
“I wanted to have a natural birth and I developed such a reassuring bond with my certified nurse-midwife. She definitely removed any fears that I had throughout my pregnancy. I was so impressed with the amount of helpfulness and caring that I received during my labor and even after my delivery.” - Samantha
Midwifery at LewisGale Physicians is a practice reflecting a trend in maternity care nationwide, with a growing demand for nurse-midwifery care not only during pregnancy and birth but also for women’s healthcare from adolescence through menopause. Women who desire less medical intervention during a low-risk pregnancy, labor and birth often choose a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) for their care. Our CNMs attend births at LewisGale Medical Center in a safe, high-quality hospital setting. Experienced in collaborative care models, our CNMs partner with the LewisGale OB/GYN physicians when necessary to deliver safe, customized care to meet each person’s individual needs.
