midwives affiliated with NY Presby?

rosbf

Does anyone know of a midwife/ midwifery practice affiliated with NY Presby? Also, having difficulty navigating NY Presby website to find information about their maternity center or even a phone number for tour schedules. Any info much appreciated!!!

Unfortunately I don't know any midwife affiliated with NYP, I don't think there's any...though you might be able to find a OBGYN who is a "non-interventionist" and would allow you to labor for as long as you want, etc.
NYP is a HUGE hospital, encompassing 4 main sites; where are you thinking of delivering?  Cornell campus in UES?  Columbia Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital at 168th St?  Allen Pavilion in Inwood?  Perhaps googling the L&D services at individual sites would get you more useful info.  Good luck!

Cornell or Columbia?  For Cornell the number is 212 746-3215 but I don't think they are giving tours anymore.

i've done a bunch of research and nypresby (cornell on UES) does not employ midwives or doulas. i can't find the site now but try googling nyc hospitals labor and delivery - because when i did a week ago, i found this great compact list abt the hospitals in nyc and what they 'had' and what they allowed... might be worth a check out.

blessings! and congrat's!
