Position Overview

Understanding the Role

Join a Valued and Growing Midwifery Program

As a Certified Nurse Midwife at Franciscan Physician Network in Crown Point, Indiana, you'll step into a role where your specialized skills are deeply valued by both the medical team and the community you'll serve. Unlike facilities where midwives function as physician extenders, here you'll practice with impressive autonomy while enjoying the security of collaborative physician support. You'll experience the satisfaction of rebuilding a cherished midwifery program that the community actively seeks out and embraces.

Your practice will perfectly balance meaningful patient relationships in the clinic setting with the profound privilege of guiding families through childbirth. Walking through the doors each day, you'll be greeted by a team that respects your training and perspective, actively working to integrate midwifery care as a cornerstone of women's health services rather than an afterthought.

  • Flexible, full-time schedule with 28 patient contact hours weekly, plus dedicated administrative time that acknowledges the importance of your non-clinical work
  • Balanced setting division with 3-3.5 days in clinic and remaining time for hospital rounds and deliveries
  • Autonomous patient care with your own panel of patients who specifically seek midwifery services
  • Collaborative practice model with assigned OB/GYN physician support available whenever needed
  • Rebuilding opportunity to shape the future of midwifery services at this location as the program grows
  • Direct reporting relationship to supportive leadership who values midwifery care

This position represents a chance to practice midwifery as it was meant to be—patient-centered, autonomous yet supported, and deeply integrated into the full spectrum of women's healthcare. Here, you'll experience the professional satisfaction of a practice that honors your training while providing the collaborative resources to ensure exceptional patient outcomes.
