| 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 on call to assist with births and postpartum care. |
