As midwives, we believe the practice of midwifery to be distinct from the practice of medicine.
The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.

The Midwives Model of Care includes:

• Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the
  childbearing cycle
• Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous
  hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
• Minimizing technological interventions
• Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce
the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
