For centuries, midwives have cared for women during pregnancy, childbirth, and their early postpartum period. In addition, midwives provide a full scope of gynecologic care throughout a woman’s life.
Stony Brook Medicine’s Midwifery team explain what midwives do, share their philosophy and passion, discuss the valuable services they offer (breastfeeding support, Centering Pregnancy, behavior health), and explain how midwives educate and empower women to live their healthiest life.
