Midwifery care for every stage of life
MultiCare’s certified nurse-midwives offer a personalized, holistic approach to pregnancy, childbirth and gynecologic care. Our team of certified nurse-midwives are all licensed advanced registered nurse practitioners (ARNPs) who have completed additional education and training in women’s health and maternity care.
Midwives work with patients across the lifespan, from adolescence to menopause. For those who are pregnant, they aim to provide an empowering, supportive childbirth experience, delivering babies in the safety and security of a fully equipped hospital setting.
How midwives help
At MultiCare, our midwives offer a tailored approach to care that takes into account the whole person — how all the different aspects of your life contribute to your well-being.

- Urinary tract infections (UTI)
- Yeast infections
