Sometimes midwifery is all about catching babies. And sometimes, midwifery care is so much more! ​

 

In Arizona, Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) can provide well-person and basic primary care outside of pregnancy and birth.

 

Examples of some services our midwives provide include:

• Helping you determine if those symptoms that feel a little "off" to you are - in fact - an infection and if you could benefit from medication to treat it

• Yearly well-person exams (with or without a pap), including a comprehensive physical exam, education on staying healthy, and lab tests as needed

• Working with you to figure out the right contraception or birth control for your situation and prescribing or ordering them as needed

• Screening for chronic health conditions like high blood pressure, cholesterol concerns, thyroid disorders, or polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), for example

• Supporting you in managing mood disorders (including postpartum ones) like depression or anxiety via lifestyle changes, targeted supplement use, and/or medication as appropriate

• Referrals to trusted specialists like pelvic floor physical therapists, ultrasounds for breast or pelvic concerns, or reproductive endocrinologists, for example

• ...And so much more

 

Our trauma-informed and inclusive well-person appointments are held in a comfortable office in central Tucson. We reserve 30 to 60 minutes for each appointment to fully hear and address your concerns.
