In 1987, she moved to New Mexico and came to work at University Hospital on the high-risk obstetrics floor. During that same period, her pregnant daughter turned to the midwife clinic. I saw the care that they gave her and the education and love. Nurse midwives are trained to help women during labor and delivery and offer prenatal, postpartum, normal newborn and routine gynecological care. They welcome more than 800 new lives into the world each year.
Midwives receive referrals from around the city.
Nearly 28 percent of the women receiving care last year at the University clinic were teens. The clinic puts an emphasis on education. Pamphlets abound and videos play regularly in the waiting room on topics such as breastfeeding and what patients can expect when they arrive at the hospital. Patients love her and frequently visit with their recent additions and later as they grow. My babies are very important to me.
