What does collaborative care mean?
Collaborative care means your entire Diana Health team is coordinating your care together. Our electronic health record allows each of your Diana Health providers to have a full picture of your whole health, so that they can make coordinated recommendations for your care. This means your Certified Nurse Midwife is talking to your therapist, and your OB/GYN is engaged with your dietitian. This ensures that every provider has a full view of what makes you uniquely you.
What is a midwife?
At Diana Health, all of our midwives are Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs)—advanced practice registered nurses with specialized training in pregnancy, childbirth, and women’s health.
Midwives do much more than support patients during labor and delivery. They provide care throughout every stage of life, including urgent and routine gynecologic care, prenatal and postpartum care, menopause management, and more. Our midwives work closely with our OB-GYNs and the rest of our care team members to provide comprehensive, whole-person care.
While we’re proud to champion midwifery care, we also understand that every patient has different needs and preferences. Patients may choose to see a Certified Nurse Midwife, an OB-GYN, or another advanced practice provider.
What type of provider might be right for me?
At Diana Health, one of our core differentiators is our focus on provider choice. At each of our practices, we have multiple types of providers you can see – but which provider type might be right for you?
OB/GYN – Our physicians are ideal for high-risk OB clients, or clients with complex gynecological needs. If you need high-touch care with a potential for a surgery, an OB/GYN may be the best choice.
Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) – Our CNMs are trained to see any and everything women’s health, with a particular focus on maternity care. Our midwives are perfect for clients with low-risk pregnancies, annual well woman visits, adolescent care, and routine gynecology concerns.
Nurse Practitioners – Our Nurse Practitioners are also trained to treat any and everything women’s health, but they are especially great for urgent gynecology needs like UTIs and STIs. You can see a Nurse Practitioner for everything from routine gynecology care, to adolescent care, to menopause, to low-risk prenatal visits.
Do you take insurance?
Yes! We believe that high quality, comprehensive women’s health care should be available to everyone. We take insurance at all of our locations, including from major insurance providers, regional plans, Medicaid plans, and exchange health plans.
