Susan Cheek-Williams, CNM, is a certified nurse midwife with Prisma Health in Greenville, South Carolina. She joined Prisma Health in 1998 and worked as a staff nurse in labor and delivery until 2011, when she began practicing as a certified nurse midwife. She graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2009 with a master's degree in nursing and in 2012 with a doctorate in nursing practice from the Medical University of South Carolina. Cheek-Williams has a special interest in education and anticipatory guidance during pregnancy. She believes that women who are better prepared for pregnancy and birth have less fear of the normal process and therefore have more satisfying birth experiences. She spends her free time with her husband, Josh, trying to keep up with their young son.

Miranda Flowers, CNM, is a certified nurse midwife at Prisma Health in Greenville, South Carolina. An Alabama native, she first came to Greenville as a student at Furman University, completing her bachelor's degree in health science in 2014. While at Furman, she was drawn to midwifery first through the documentary The Business of Being Born and then through Ina May Gaskin’s Spiritual Midwifery. After graduating from Furman, she went on to Columbia to receive her bachelor's degree in nursing and master's degree in nurse midwifery. Flowers received training both in a busy hospital setting as well as a rural home-birth practice. She is thrilled to be in a practice that offers patients true midwifery care with shared decision-making and a range of birthing options. She believes that pregnancy and birth are a normal life event, and our role as midwives is to educate and empower women about their bodies and to respect their choices. In addition to pregnancy and birth, she is also passionate about providing well-women care, from contraception and sexual health counseling to menopausal care.
