Collaboration
We offer midwifery services in collaboration with Dr. Michelle S. Quaye, MD. We are able to provide the benefits of midwifery care with the support of an obstetrician if complications arise during the pregnancy.
CARE PHILOSOPHY OF MIDWIVES
As a midwife of the American College of Nurse-Midwives stated, “affirm the power and strength of women and the importance of their health in the well-being of families, communities and nations. We believe in the basic human rights of all persons, recognizing that women often incur an undue burden of risk when these rights are violated.” Also the American College of Nurse-Midwives state, “We believe every person has a right to health care; We believe in the best model of health care for a woman and her family; We believe in the normalcy of women’s lifecycle events; And we value lifelong learning to provide competent midwifery practice.”

Jessica P Brown MSN,APRN,WHNP-BC
I am originally from Anderson, SC but have called Greenwood home for many years. I am a mother of one wild little boy. I graduated from Lander University in 2009 with a Bachelor's degree in Nursing. I started my career in critical care at Self Regional here in Greenwood. I also spent some time in post-anesthesia care, oncology and various settings as a travel nurse. Throughout my years of nursing, I have always felt a calling towards women's health. It wasn't until after my own pregnancy and delivery with a midwife that pushed me to pursue my calling further. I graduated from Frontier Nursing University in 2020 with a Master of Science in Nursing with a focus in Women's Health. I decided to go back to school & finished my post masters degree in midwifery in April of 2024. I am board certified by the National Certification Corporation with an advanced nursing license in South Carolina. I am excited to be partnering with women in this community from adolescents through menopause. My goal is to empower women to take part in their own health through education and a holistic approach.
LACTATION
Breastfeeding gives your baby more than just good nutrition. It also provides important substances to fight infection. Breastfeeding has medical and psychological benefits for both, you & baby/babies. Like anything new, breastfeeding takes some practice and with good support it can be achieved.
