Matthews brings passion for midwifery care to Pomerene
Megan Matthews is the newest Certified Nurse Midwife to join Pomerene’s midwifery team.
Pomerene’s Certified Nurse Midwives are healthcare providers that go through comprehensive training, providing personalized and holistic care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
In her role, Matthews will support women from puberty through menopause. She says she is passionate about pregnancy and birth and has wanted to be a midwife since she was 4 years old.
“I went with my mother to her prenatal appointments when she was pregnant with my sister,” Matthews said. “I fell in love with pregnancy and knew that’s what I wanted to do when I grew up.”
Matthews earned a Masters of Science in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University and is a Certified Nurse Midwife through The American Midwifery Certification Board.
She has over eight years of experience as a Labor and Delivery RN and an additional two years as an OB/GYN office RN.
“I was drawn to Pomerene because of the emphasis on normal physiologic labor and birth with minimal interventions,” she said.
Pomerene’s midwifery services prioritize informed decision-making, empowering women to actively participate in their own care. Midwives provide education, support, and guidance to ensure a positive and safe birthing experience.
Matthews will deliver midwifery care at Pomerene office locations in Millersburg, Berlin and Sugarcreek. Childbirth takes place at Pomerene Hospital’s birthing center.
Asked what Pomerene’s mission of caring for our community’s health means to her, Matthews said it’s about taking care of the well-being and happiness of the people around her.
“It means being there for each other, supporting one another, and promoting a healthy lifestyle for everyone in our community,” she said. “It’s about making sure that we all have access to good healthcare and resources that can help us stay healthy and thrive.”
Outside of Pomerene, Mathews enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and three daughters, Briar, Linden, and Bishop on their small farm.
