Midwives are often associated solely with assisting in childbirth. However, their role encompasses far more than just delivering babies. They provide holistic, compassionate care to women throughout their reproductive lives. At Reedsburg Area Medical Center, our dedicated midwives offer various services to support women’s health and well-being. Let’s explore the valuable services that midwives provide beyond the delivery room.
Are you aware midwives can provide a wide range of care beyond pregnancy and childbirth? Each midwife is unique, but they can support women through various stages of life, from puberty to menopause. This includes well-woman visits, STD testing and education, contraception, and lab testing.
Skilled nursing facilities are some of the most scrutinized and regulated healthcare facilities, and for good reason. Historically, instances of poor quality care and overcrowded living conditions have necessitated the regulation of states and the federal government. In total, there are almost 900 pages of regulations governing the operation of nursing homes. I’m told the only facilities regulated more heavily than nursing facilities are nuclear power plants! While this may or may not be true, it gives you some sense of the level of scrutiny that nursing homes are under to provide high-quality care and a safe environment for our Residents.
