If you are interested in a holistic, low-intervention and highly supportive model of care, seeing a midwife at Mayo Clinic Health System may be for you. Midwives care for women from early adolescence through menopause, including prenatal care. They provide evidence-based medicine, encourage women to make informed decisions about their healthcare, and focus on patient participation and education.
