Melissa W. Black, CNM, MSN

I became an advanced practice provider because I wanted to improve health equity and access to quality care for the women in my community. I have always had a passion for women’s health, but I want to be more than just a health care provider. I believe the need to feel cared for and heard by their provider are priority for most women. As a midwife, partnering with my patients to develop the plan of care and assisting them to make decisions regarding their overall health maintenance, pregnancy, and delivery experience are a top priority. When I am not at work, I enjoy reading and gardening and I love college football.
