Dignity Health midwives

At Dignity Health Medical Foundation, our midwives are certified nurse midwives (CNM), registered nurses who have completed a midwifery program and passed a national certification exam.

Why choose a nurse midwife?

Midwives provide care for uncomplicated pregnancies and births. They consider pregnancy and childbirth normal, natural events that don't require routine medical intervention. Many women choose midwives because they prefer a highly personalized approach to pregnancy, birth, and women's health care.

What to expect with a midwife

• A pregnancy visit with a midwife often lasts longer than many routine health appointments. And midwives offer a highly individualized approach — they get to know your desires and specific needs. Midwives don't focus on just your pregnancy or health condition as isolated events. Instead, midwives consider them in the context of your life.
• Midwives also educate and empower their patients by teaching them more about their bodies and explaining treatment options. When women are pregnant, midwives teach them how to work with their bodies during labor and birth to help ensure a smooth process.
• According to research, women who use midwives for pregnancy care are less likely to need pain medication (such as an epidural), more likely to move around during labor, and less likely to have a C-section.

Family medicine services

Family medicine is based on an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship that is focused on integrated care. Family practice physicians are also referred to as primary care physicians (PCP) general practitioners and family medicine physicians.

The family practice physicians at Dignity Health Medical Groups provide complete care for your entire family, diagnosing and treating a variety of health conditions and diseases for patients of all ages. In addition to diagnosing and treating acute and chronic illnesses, family practice physicians provide routine health screenings and preventive care to prevent illnesses before they develop. And, if a health condition arises that requires care from another specialist, your family physician will be there to guide you and to coordinate all aspects of your care.
