Brattleboro OB/GYN is pleased to welcome new nurse-midwife Meredith Merritt, CNM, to the practice.
Merritt received her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from the University of Vermont in Burlington and her Master of Science degree in Nursing from Frontier Nursing University in Hyden, Kentucky. She resides in Brattleboro with her husband Peter, their five-month-old daughter Zora, and their dog Gary who came to them through rescue two years ago. Merritt's hobbies include hiking, running, yoga, traveling, and time spent with her family outside.
According to Merritt, "I chose to become a midwife because I want to offer individualized care to women that empowers them to be partners in their own health. Also, pregnancy and birth are such an amazing time, and it is an honor to witness and help women through their transition to motherhood."
