Our Philosophy:
Women deserve respectful, competent, culturally sensitive health care throughout their lives. Pregnancy and childbirth are a normal and important time in the life of a woman and her family, and midwifery care encourages women and their families to be active participants in their health care.

Our Practice:
We offer full-scope midwifery services, including:
     Prenatal Care
     Labor and Delivery
     Postpartum Care
     Annual GYN Exams and Pap Smears

Although we no longer offer out-of-hospital births, it is our intention to continue providing excellent midwifery care in the hospital setting at Shady Grove Adventist Hospital in Rockville, MD.
