Welcome to Midwifery Services at The GW Medical Faculty Associates.


Midwifery joined The George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates in June 2010.  We believe that collaborative care between midwives and physicians yields the very best outcomes for pregnant women and their babies.  Our full-scope midwifery service provides in-hospital, midwifery managed pregnancy care and births for the women of DC.  We do only hospital births at the George Washington University Hospital.  As of July 2012, there are 6 midwives in the practice: Whitney Pinger CNM, Laura Emmons CNM, Marsha Stalcup CNM, and Nora Fisher CNM, Kimla McDonald, and Sierra Casillas.  We also have additional midwives and midwifery students working with us both in the office and on labor and delivery.  We see women on the usual schedule and provide 24/7 call for deliveries.  Medical collaboration is provided by our physician colleagues at The George Washington University Hospital. 
 
Enrollment for our practice is limited and we are currently enrolling women with fall 2013 due dates.
