BWHC is staffed by two certified nurse-midwives who are educated in the two professions of nursing and midwifery. They are registered nurses with advanced education who must pass a national certification exam. They provide prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum care and also provide specialized health care to women of all ages including annual exams and Pap smears, family planning, and gynecological care. A registered nurse is also available to assist with births and postpartum care.

Director Lois Yoder, CNM, fulfilled her dream of becoming a nurse-midwife in 1982 when she graduated from the Nurse Midwifery Educational Program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, MS. Lois is a seasoned midwife with 26 years of midwifery experience including 17 years in South America as a rural missionary. She has attended almost 3200 births and still loves mothers and babies.
