National Midwifery Week is October 1 – 7, 2017, and the theme for this year is Making Strides for All Women. We’d like to take this opportunity to commend all of the Atrius Health midwives for their ongoing commitment to our practice.
Receiving care from a midwife has been an option for Atrius Health patients since 1990, and many of our patients have selected to receive personal and individualized obstetric and gynecological care from our midwives from adolescence through menopause.
Our midwives’ care for their patients is enhanced by their close relationships with Atrius Health physicians throughout our organization. In addition to hospital call and rounds, our midwives practice in our OB/GYN offices and as part of urgent care at Harvard Vanguard Kenmore and Wellesley.
This quote from the Lancet Series on Midwifery, “Midwifery is a vital solution to the challenges of providing high-quality maternal and newborn care for all women and newborn infants, in all countries,” represents our midwives philosophy of care and practice at Atrius Health.
Please join us in congratulating our midwives for their continued outstanding service and care of our patients and their families!
