St. Joseph’s Health has welcomed Jennifer MacBlane back to St. Joseph’s in her new role as a midwife at St. Joseph’s Physicians Primary Care Center OB-GYN office in Syracuse.
MacBlane has returned to St. Joseph’s with more than 17 years of experience in the fields of obstetrical care, gynecology, pharmaceuticals, teaching and health care management.
MacBlane is no stranger to St. Joseph’s Health. She earned her associate degree in nursing from the St. Joseph’s College of Nursing. Prior to working in a private midwifery practice, she worked at St. Joseph’s Health Hospital as a labor and delivery nurse, a childbirth educator, a registered charge nurse and a medical biller as well as a clinical instructor at St. Joseph’s School of Nursing.
“From my education to my job experience, most of my professional career has been at St. Joseph’s. My mother, father and brother all worked at here and I’ve had all three of my children here,” said MacBlane. “Returning to St. Joseph’s has been like coming home. It feels like I’m reuniting with family, even those that have just started here. I always felt so comfortable here and that feeling has only magnified with our growth.”
MacBlane is board-certified by the American Midwifery Certification Board and is a member of the American College of Nurse Midwives. She received all her education in New York state. She earned her bachelor’s degree with honors from Utica College. She has a Master of Science in nurse midwifery from Stony Brook University (honor society); an associate degree in nursing from St. Joseph’s College of Nursing (honor society); and a Bachelor of Science in humanities from Buffalo State College.
