Care that stays with your patients.
Tell us about your organization and the patients you are trying to reach. We will show you how Ouma's midwives fit, with the same clinician start to finish.
Midwives bring a level of caring that is hard to match anywhere else in maternity, paired with deep expertise in normal pregnancy. As Ouma has grown, we have invested in midwives, because they meet a patient with both knowledge and heart. And at Ouma, the midwife who meets your patient is the one who stays with them.
As Ouma grew, we made a deliberate choice to build around midwives. The reason is simple. The level of empathy a great midwife brings to a pregnancy is unmatched by anyone else in maternity care.
Empathy is only half of a rare combination. Midwives carry the clinical knowledge that physicians hold about normal pregnancy, plus the caring that nurses bring to the bedside.
That is the best of both worlds: someone who can manage the medicine and sit with the fear, the questions, and the hope that come with pregnancy. In a system that too often makes patients feel like a chart number, that combination matters. It is why midwives are central to how Ouma delivers care, and a core part of the team.
Midwives are the most versatile clinicians we have. They go where the patient needs them, moving fluidly across service lines that usually sit in separate silos.
Working alongside our MFM specialists to help manage complex, high-risk pregnancies.
High-Risk Pregnancy (teleMFM) →Leading healthy, low-risk pregnancies from preconception through postpartum, the care midwives are built for.
When a patient needs someone who can cross the usual boundaries, the midwife is who we send.
Stepping into our behavioral health line, meeting patients with the empathy that mental health care demands.
Perinatal Behavioral Health →We believe pregnancy is too important, and too personal, to hand off to whoever happens to be free. So we do not.
Continuity is more than intuition. Reviews of midwife-led continuity of care, where the same midwife or small team supports a woman across her pregnancy, have been associated with fewer preterm births, fewer interventions, and higher satisfaction. That is compared with models where care is fragmented across many providers.9

Because one clinician can carry a patient across several of these lines, care stays continuous instead of restarting from zero with every referral.
