Certified Nurse Midwife

As a member of the Mayo Clinic Care Network, South County Health is part of a select group of independent healthcare organizations carefully vetted by Mayo Clinic and granted special access to Mayo Clinic’s knowledge, expertise, and resources. South County Health physicians and providers can consult directly with Mayo Clinic specialists when additional input may benefit their patients and access clinical resources, education, and professional development opportunities that complement their local expertise - including insights from more than 25 million unique Mayo Clinic clinical encounters through the Mayo Clinic Platform.
