Midwifery Services
The addition of midwifery at Newport Hospital enhances the services offered through Newport Women’s Health and the hospital’s Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center, which is designated as Baby-Friendly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nation’s Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
“Newport Hospital and The Noreen Stonor Drexel Birthing Center provide the ideal atmosphere for midwifery, one that supports a collaborative one-on-one approach to welcoming women and guiding them as individuals through their birth journey and beyond,” says Zambrotta. “I’m excited to be at the hospital and in the Newport community. Moving into midwifery has really been a natural progression for me and being able to practice here completes the circle.”
