Low-Risk Pregnancy and Childbirth Support

PAMF offers midwife services in Santa Cruz and Fremont. At PAMF’s Fremont Care Center, nurse-midwives assist doctors with patient care. In Santa Cruz, PAMF nurse-midwives deliver babies.

As midwives, we:

  • Support you throughout your pregnancy, birth and postpartum care.
  • Provide annual gynecologic health maintenance exams.
  • Provide all types of birth control.
  • Advise on fertility, menopause or any other nonurgent gynecological concerns.

We can provide services via Video Visits through My Health Online, including pregnancy and nonpregnancy check-ins.  

Certified nurse midwives (CNMs) have completed both nursing school and an advanced training graduate degree in midwifery. CNMs are also licensed to provide primary care and write prescriptions.

CNMs across America are dedicated to serving you and your family with dignity and respect. We’re committed to following the Philosophy of Care and the Hallmarks of Midwifery published by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.

Genetics Research

Sutter Health Genetics Research
Genetics studies the genes and DNA coding that each person inherits from their parents and how these genes can lead to disease or better health. Some inherited genes cause diseases such as Tay-Sachs or sickle cell anemia, while mutations in genes can cause genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome. However, doctors also use genetics to understand which treatments may work best for an individual.
