These family medicine providers offer complete, low risk obstetrical care, including prenatal visits, deliveries and postpartum care. When you choose a family medicine provider, you receive seamless care that combines maternity care with ongoing health needs.
Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) - Certified nurse-midwives are registered nurses (RNs) with a Masters degree in women's health care.

Midwives provide women's health care including routine gynecologic problems, annual exams and preventative services, low risk pregnancy, and natural childbirth. Midwives do not perform gynecologic surgery or cesarean section, and work together with our OB/GYN's if this is necessary.
OB Hospitalists - Our OB hospitalists are physicians that are dedicated to hospital care. They are available 24/7 and may care for you during your labor if there is an emergency and your provider is not immediately available. They may also help if your provider needs an assistant for your delivery or cesarean section.

They have advanced knowledge and training in medical, surgical, obstetrical, fetal, and genetic complications of pregnancy that affect both the woman and the fetus.
