West Wing Clinic

At West Wing we do it all! We provide prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum care, Well Woman Exams, contraception, wellness & cancer screening. We offer education and services relating to breastfeeding, family planning, menopausal management, nutrition, weight loss and so much more. We have regular childbirth classes.

Appointments take place in a comfortable, home-like environment at South Peninsula Hospital’s West Wing of the Homer Medical Center and births take place at the South Peninsula Hospital’s family birthing center.

Midwifery in the United States can be really confusing. There are three ways to become a midwife and they are quite different. The Midwives at West Wing are all Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM). This means that we have all gone through registered nursing training and followed that with 2 to 4 more years of training specific to learning about women’s health, pregnancy and birth, and baby care. We all have either a Master’s or Doctorate degree. We pass a National Certification Exam and are required to keep updated with many hours of continuing education every year. We also have many years of experience and are very comfortable providing care to a wide array of women with different needs and desires. We have full prescriptive authority and can safely prescribe medications and treatments.
