Laurie Ann Foster, CNM - Alice Peck Day Womens Care Center

After training as a midwife, I worked in Manhattan and then in a tribal hospital in the Navajo Nation in Arizona. Recently, I settled in the Upper Valley. My goal is to provide reproductive care to my patients that is compassionate, thoughtful, and respectful. Supporting a person through their childbearing years includes supporting their family. It is integral to include family members in discussions. A healthy, safe pregnancy and birth are paramount. I provide calm, focused care during labor. I support my patients to help them have the care and birth experience they envision.

My goal is to provide my patients with the knowledge they need to make decisions that feel right for them. Getting to work with women every day is such a privilege. I am always struck by my patients' incredible courage, humor, and resilience. It's very rewarding to know that the work directly helps my patients. My hope is that my patients will feel empowered after meeting with me and will feel comfortable coming back.
