Why I Work at Neighborcare:
I am a midwife because I am inspired by the strength of women and see midwifery as a way to foster empowerment and build communities, which is also central to the mission of Neighborcare Health. I am energized by the work that midwives do and delight in opportunities to facilitate learning and support women during pregnancy and birth. I have always felt drawn towards working with underserved populations and am constantly inspired by the diverse population of women we serve at Neighborcare.
