Midwives provide women with a personalized, compassionate and total approach to all aspects of health, including prenatal, labor, delivery, postpartum and gynecologic care. Their medical knowledge and specialized training allow them to have a unique understanding of a woman’s physical, emotional and personal needs during all phases of pregnancy.

 

The true meaning of midwifery, “women caring for women”, focuses on meeting the individual needs of each patient in order to provide the most fulfilling birthing experience. Lakewood Hospital is pleased to add a sixth midwife to its Midwifery Practice. Sharon Johnson, MS, CNM, has extensive experience in providing comprehensive nurse midwifery services as well as obstetrical nursing.

 

“We are thrilled to bring another midwife to this outstanding practice,” said Jack Gustin, president of Lakewood Hospital. “We have found that the relationship women experience with their midwife is one of the main reasons why they choose to receive care at Lakewood Hospital. We are pleased to offer this personalized service to women."

 

Lakewood Hospital Midwifery Associates opened its doors in September 2008. The midwives collectively bring more than 70 years of experience and expertise to the practice. Lakewood Hospital has had CNMs on staff since 1991, when the hospital first re-opened its Birthing Center.
