Women's Contemporary Health-Care offers a wide range of obstetrical and gynecologic care. Our obstetric services are flexible to suit your needs. We have lab services available in our office, as well as an in-office ultrasonographer. We recently started offering first trimester genetic screening (also known as a Nuchal Translucency Scan or the Ultrascreen) in our office for those families who are interested.

Our Certified Nurse-Midwives see the vast majority of obstetric patients in our practice. Dr. Isabelle is always on call if collaboration is necessary or in case of an emergency during labor and delivery. Our midwives are proud to offer the Midwives Model of Care.

The Midwives Model of Care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.

The Midwives Model of Care includes:

• Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle


• Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support


• Minimizing technological interventions


• Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention

The application of this woman-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.

We believe that pregnancy, labor, and birth are natural and normal life processes. We are happy to work with birth plans and doulas, and always employ a philosophy of watchful waiting and non-intervention. Intervention will occur only if indicated with signs of maternal or fetal non-wellbeing.

We are currently attending deliveries primarily at Mount Carmel St. Ann's Hospital.
