Come and join our birth center team!

Lifecycle WomanCare (LWC), also known as The Birth Center, is an independent nonprofit health care organization, in existence for 40 years. Its midwives, nurse-practitioners, nurses, and skilled staff provide outpatient reproductive healthcare and birth and related services, in a nurturing, home-like, family oriented setting.

We are looking for dynamic Staff Nurses to provide nursing care and work closely with the certified nurse-midwives in our Birth Suites: during labor, birth and the postpartum/early newborn phases of birth.
