We believe in better maternity care for all.
We’re looking for a full-time (preferred) or part-time Certified Nurse-Midwife to deliver full-spectrum perinatal care and basic gynecology at our new perinatal practice in Berkeley, CA.
About Millie
Millie is reimagining the hospital-based U.S. maternity experience. We aim to provide more complete, continuous, inclusive, and empowered care with better outcomes by centering midwifery care with OB collaboration as a standard in the U.S.
Our Berkeley, CA in-person clinic provides a warm and welcoming environment for holistic perinatal care. At Millie, support extends beyond the clinic through app-based education, tech-enabled remote monitoring, and virtual care spanning specialties. We partner with Alta Bates Campus Birth Center for our labor and delivery services — and all services will be covered by major insurance plans and Medi-Cal.
Our clinic and care team are successful when all birthing parents, regardless of background:
- Feel seen and heard as the multidimensional people they are.
- Feel confident and supported in their decisions.
- Can easily access trusted and skilled support when and how they choose.
- Experience a healthier pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. This includes (but is not limited to) reduced rates of preterm births, NICU stays, and C-sections, earlier detection of complications, and, last but not least, a better patient experience.
This is an opportunity to raise the bar for maternity care, shape a new practice’s care model, and work with a team of inspiring and committed people. If you are passionate about improving maternal health through holistic, whole-person care, come join us!
