Meet our Midwives
What is a Certified Nurse-Midwife?
Certified nurse-midwives provide primary healthcare to women at all stages of their lives. They provide individualized support and expert delivery and postpartum care and offer well-woman care throughout the lifecycle, including routine screening exams, contraceptive care and postmenopausal support and treatment. They educate and answer questions about good nutrition, exercise and healthy lifestyle. Our midwives work closely with Dr. Diesfeld and Dr. Pattamakom to give you the care you deserve.
As certified nurse-midwives, Kathy and Roseann have completed advanced training and education and graduated from a nurse-midwifery program accredited by the American College of Nurse-Midwives. They also passed a stringent national certification exam. Kathy and Roseann are here to support you during this special time of your life. From spending time with you during your prenatal visits until labor, you can count on them to address your idividual needs and answer any questions you have. Learn more about them below.

"I feel fortunate that what I do for work is something that I love doing and something that I find both important and rewarding. As a registered nurse and certified nurse-midwife, I work closely with women to give them excellent care that respects their needs and empowers them to make their own healthcare decisions with confidence. I give them the time and personal attention they deserve, and I strive to be a calm center for them. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure they get safe, compassionate care that’s focused on their individual needs. This is what I would want, so it’s what I endeavor to provide every day."
In her spare time, Kathy enjoys cooking and gardening.

"After working as a labor and delivery nurse for over 25 years, I made the decision to become a certified nurse-midwife. This allows me to spend time with patients and provide them with the care and support they need throughout their pregnancies, which is very rewarding to me. I pride myself on providing patients with the utmost friendliness, understanding, flexibility and honesty, all of which can help make their birth experience a special and memorable one."
In her spare time, Roseann enjoys spending time with her grandchildren, riding her bike and enjoying the ocean.
