Certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) are registered nurses who have undergone additional intensive training and testing to become certified by the American College of Nurse Midwives. CNMs are skilled in both nursing and midwifery and can practice anywhere in the U.S.

The midwives at OB-GYN Associates are motivated in providing the best available care for women and their unborn babies in high risk and average risk situations.
