An expecting mother’s birth team often includes her family, doctors, and nurses–and now, women giving birth at Soin Medical Center have the option to include a midwife.
Adding certified nurse midwives to the care team at Soin is likely to increase patient satisfaction, says Miriam Cartmell, executive director of the Women’s and Children’s Service Line. “We found that many women who would otherwise choose a Kettering Health Network provider were going elsewhere just to see a nurse midwife. We expect this to benefit everyone–providers and, most importantly, the families we serve.”
Two certified nurse midwives have joined the team at Kettering Physician Network Advanced Women’s Healthcare in Beavercreek: Darla Baker and Andrea Carr, who both hold master’s of science degrees and are advanced practice registered nurses with multiple certifications, including nurse midwifery and electronic fetal monitoring.
Baker and Carr have privileges at Soin Medical Center, where they can provide natural birth experiences as well as pharmacologic pain management. They provide full-scope obstetric and gynecologic care for women from puberty through menopause, including well-woman gynecologic care, family planning consultations and contraception, pre-conception counseling, and pregnancy and childbirth care.
