Cape Cod Healthcare’s skilled team of certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) provide women-centered care throughout the stages of a woman’s life, from adolescence through child-bearing years, menopause and beyond. Our midwives have received advanced training in nursing and midwifery, and are certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
Collaborative Support at The Family Birthplace
Our certified nurse-midwives play an essential role in fulfilling our commitment to provide quality care for all mothers and babies. Your care team may include several medical specialists, including your OB/GYN, a hospital laborist, CNMs and nurses – all dedicated to providing compassionate, skilled care while listening to a woman’s wishes for her birth experience. Our team is dedicated to the education and promotion of normal pregnancy, labor and birth, with medical intervention only when necessary.
