Nurse midwifery services at Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital, part of Ascension Michigan, were featured recently by CBS Detroit.
“We’re thrilled to respond to the need for midwifery services,” said Deborah King, Vice President of Nursing for Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital. She said patients and their families accessing the service receive world-class care in the convenience of their private room during the entire delivery process.
“As midwives, we want women to feel confident, prepared, and supported during pregnancy and childbirth,” said Julie Hansen, Certified Nurse Midwife, Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital. “We seek to understand them and their preferences.”
Julie Mohan, another Certified Nurse Midwife for Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital, said that “as midwives, we nurture the beauty and strength of each woman in their journey through pregnancy and childbirth.”
