At the Lisa Ross Birth and Women's Center, we specialize in caring for women with low risk, normal pregnancies. We believe in educating you and your family about the normal changes of pregnancy and signs to watch for so that you can be an active and empowered participant in your own healthcare. We encourage family and friends to be a part of prenatal care, and we enjoy having them attend prenatal visits with you, if desired.

 

Our Certified Nurse-Midwives provide prenatal care, labor and delivery, and post-partum care. Our three birth options include birth center birth, waterbirth, and hospital birth.

 

Another unique service that is offered at the Lisa Ross Birth and Women's Center is the availability of an in-house Social Worker to help meet the additional needs of our clients during pregnancy.

 

Carmen Pitt, MSSW, works with women and their families to help identify and address socioeconomic risk factors that can impact the health of the mother and baby.
