Hutzel Women’s Hospital and University Women’s Care are celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Nurse-Midwife program.
Hutzel was the first hospital in Michigan to grant privileges to nurse-midwives. The Nurse Midwife program at Hutzel is not only the oldest in the state, it’s also one of the busiest.
In 2003, 10 nurse midwives delivered approximately 1,300 babies at the hospital. Almost 25 percent of all babies delivered at Hutzel Women’s Hospital are delivered by a certified nurse-midwife.
As a recognized leader in midwifery, University Women’s Care and Hutzel Women’s Hospital are helping to train a new generation of nurse-midwives. The Wayne State University College of Nursing recently launched a new master’s degree program in nurse-midwifery. The Wayne State students will receive much of their training at Hutzel Women’s Hospital. Midwifery students from the University of Michigan and other programs also train at the hospital.
