As part of our commitment to meeting your unique needs and desires, we offer midwifery services at several of our locations throughout the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area.

What Is a Midwife?

Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Midwives (CMs) have received a graduate-level education in a midwifery program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Midwifery Education (ACME). All CNMs and CMs have passed a national certification exam.

Midwives perform many services, including:

  • Routine gynecologic exams
  • Prescribing birth control
  • Obstetric care, including labor, delivery, and postpartum services

They can also offer post-delivery services like lactation and nutritional support. While midwives are highly trained and qualified to assist with low-risk pregnancies and births, they cannot perform cesarean sections. They are also not able to assist with pregnancies and births involving twins or other multiples.
