St. Joseph’s Health recently welcomed certified nurse midwife Jessica M. Brown to St. Joseph’s Physicians Primary Care Center OB-GYN office in Syracuse.
Brown is a member of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and the New York Association of Licensed Midwives. Before joining St. Joseph’s, she worked as a registered nurse in labor and delivery at Upstate University Hospital-Community Campus and Crouse Hospital in Syracuse. She was also a registered nurse for the surgical inpatient department of Upstate University Hospital–Downtown Campus.
“My goal as a professional midwife is to care for those in underserved communities,” said Brown. “I want to bring forth the vision of birth as a physiological process, decrease maternal mortality rates and intercept health disparities. I think St. Joseph’s Health is a perfect place to plant my roots.”
Brown earned her Master of Science in midwifery from Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia; her Bachelor of Science in nursing from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York; and her Associate of Science in nursing from St. Elizabeth College of Nursing in Utica. She is pursing her doctorate in nursing practice with a conferral date of June 2024.
