WHO WE ARE

They also work with other members of the health care team, such as physicians and nurses, to provide the highest quality care. CNMs and CMs work in a variety of settings, such as hospitals, medical offices, clinics, birth centers, and homes. They provide general health care services, gynecology care, family planning, and maternity care (before, during, and after childbirth). They are covered by most insurances.
