Obstetrics

Women’s Care offers comprehensive Obstetrical Services. We perform over 500 deliveries each year at the Snuggery at Glens Falls Hospital .

Much of our obstetrical care is coordinated by our team of experienced midwives. The philosophy of nurse-midwifery is the provision of care that "is focused on the needs of the individual and family for physical care, emotional and social support and active involvement of significant others according to their cultural values and personal preferences."
