Pennsylvania - CNM Staff (Full or Part Time) or Director (Full Time)

Lebanon Valley Midwifery and Women’s Wellness and the Lebanon Valley Birth Center, an 18-year-old growing autonomous midwifery practice and accredited birth center, is seeking a Certified Nurse-Midwife.

We provide full-scope midwifery care to our population, about 75% of whom are from the Plain community (Amish, Mennonite, others.) and a diverse group of additional families. Nearly all are committed to physiologic out-of-hospital birth and to a model of self-determination and shared decision making in their health care. Nearly 100% breastfeed. We have a low cesarean rate. You will also have the opportunity to care for some unique health conditions.

We attended about 170 births in 2022. About 10 percent were homebirths with the rest in our licensed CABC (Commission on Accreditation of Birth Centers) accredited birth center or our collaborative hospital (where we have privileges providing continuity of care), which is part of WellSpan Health. We offer water birth and a have a special service to those who wish to have a VBAC.

We collaborate with many providers in our region beginning with our Medical Director and OB/CNM practice. A local MFM service performs ultrasounds at our office. The world-renowned Clinic for Special Children provides consultation and comprehensive care to our children and adults with genetic and other complex medical disorders.
