Greetings!

Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) provide care in over 70 practices in Colorado including Grand Junction, Sterling, Wray, Lamar, Vail, Aspen, Montrose, Glenwood Springs, Durango and the greater Denver metro area. Mountain Midwifery is the only birth center in Colorado, located in Englewood. Please visit "Find a Midwife"!

Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) are registered nurses who have graduate level classroom and clinically training so they can offer health care to women and their families across the life span, beginning at puberty and continuing into the menopause.  The midwifery model of care is geared to promote the well-being of women, their newborns and families through education; this results in informed decision-making. 

Your CNM partners with you to provide information and care in the areas of pregnancy, childbirth, family planning, reproduction, menopause, common medical problems such as urinary tract infections, and annual physical check-ups. Please visit:  Mymidwife.org

Certified Nurse-Midwives practice in public, private and educational settings.  These include hospitals, birth centers, and homes. CNMs can be found in rural, suburban, and urban areas across Colorado.  Please visit our interactive map to find a CNM near you. 

Insurance companies reimburse CNMs for health care provided to you and your family.
