Faculty Practice Nurse-Midwifery & Primary Care for Women

Welcome! The Vanderbilt School of Nursing Faculty Practice Nurse-Midwives & Primary Care practitioners are health care providers offering services to women of all ages and through all phases of life.

Our nurse-midwives and primary care nurse practitioners are advanced practice registered nurses with graduate-level education and training in our specialty. We work as independent health care providers. We also work with other members of the health care team - physicians, nurses, specialists - to provide the highest quality care.

*Masks are optional in our office. If you feel ill, have respiratory symptoms, or would be more comfortable wearing one, masks will be available.

We provide lifelong care for women, including pregnancy and birth care, primary care, sick visits, gynecology care, birth control, cancer screening, menopausal care, and more. We strive to provide compassionate, holistic, affirming care that honors the diversity of life and families so that all individuals and families feel comfortable receiving care with our practice.

We are covered by most insurances, including TennCare and CoverKids. We offer Spanish speaking staff and providers and can access Vanderbilt interpreters for other languages.

Midwife means "with woman"...and we are!
