A certified nurse midwife (CNM) is a specific kind of advanced practice nurse that specializes in women's healthcare services. CNMs are licensed, independent health care providers with prescriptive authority in all 50 states. CNMs focus on participating as partners in a woman's care and generally take a low-intervention, holistic approach to healthcare. Midwifery as practiced by CNMs encompasses a range of primary health care services for women from adolescence beyond menopause. These services include primary care, gynecologic and family planning services, preconception care, and care during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period. At this time, midwifery is available at Northwest Women's Center only.
