Hello Midwives!

​

--Do you want kinship while retaining the autonomy of owning your practice?

--Do you need access to a birth center and clinic space without the hassle of owning or managing a physical location?

--Are you a new midwife seeking mentorship and a low-cost startup opportunity?

​

Join the Community Resident Midwife Program at the Renton Birth Center. Our program is designed to support sustainable practice with built-in mechanisms such as a referral stream, BA stipend, and group purchasing for supplies.

​

Resident Midwives (RMW) have practices of their own but operate out of the Renton Birth Center and attend their client's births at the Renton Birth Center or attend home births. 

​

Resident Midwives see clients in Renton, have access to host events in Renton or Seattle, and use of workspaces in both locations. 

​

Resident Midwives:

--Clients are greeted by the front desk

--Request ultrasound appointments on site for their clients

--Request evaluation and treatment from the ARNP and ND team as needed for their clients

--Access to on-call Birth Assistants

--Community Midwife stipend per birth (see agreement for details)
