Midwifery

If you want safe, personalized health care devoted to your unique physical, social and spiritual needs as a woman, midwifery care in Eau Claire is for you.

A certified nurse-midwife cares for you before, during and after pregnancy and throughout your life, focusing on maintaining health and encouraging you to make informed decisions about health care.
