Personalized, supportive care through pregnancy, birth and beyond
UCSF midwives provide compassionate, evidence-based care that centers each patient’s needs, preferences and choices. As certified nurse-midwives and members of collaborative health care teams, our midwives support patients throughout pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, with access to additional medical expertise when needed.
UCSF offers midwifery care through two programs in San Francisco, each with its own care setting, services and community.
At UCSF Health’s Mission Bay campus, certified nurse-midwives provide personalized pregnancy and birth care as part of UCSF’s multidisciplinary obstetric team. Midwives work closely with obstetricians and maternal-fetal medicine specialists, allowing patients to continue receiving midwifery care while accessing specialized expertise if complications arise. Care is connected to the UCSF Birth Center at Mission Bay.
At Zuckerberg San Francisco General, certified nurse-midwives provide 24/7 hospital-based midwifery care with a longstanding commitment to accessible, culturally responsive and person-centered care. Established in 1975, the program offers individual and group prenatal care at ZSFG and in community settings, serving San Francisco’s diverse communities in more than 20 languages.
