A true team approach

Throughout your pregnancy, you’ll have the opportunity to meet each of our CNMs, giving you the comfort of familiarity no matter who is on call when you go into labor. Behind the scenes, the team meets regularly, shares information seamlessly, and follows consistent, evidence-based protocols so that your care remains coordinated and tailored.
