Catrina Renee Richardson, CNM, WHNP

Catrina Richardson is a nurse-midwife and women's health nurse practitioner.

"Midwifery is the perfect avenue for me to use current medical and nursing literature to care for women, deliver babies and form genuine relationships. I believe in being a partner in a woman's individualized care, " she says. "Giving women complete and accurate information to make informed health care decisions is my goal. I want the women I see to feel happy and supported with their experience."

Richardson has worked in many facets of health care, including clinical labs and IT nursing. She has worked as a surgical ICU and labor and delivery nurse. A native of Racine, Wisconsin, she graduated from Tennessee State University in Nashville, Tennessee, and University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she earned degrees in biology/chemistry and nursing, respectively.

Seeking to enhance her partnership with women, Richardson completed her Master's of Nursing degree with a concentration in midwifery/women's health at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She has emerged as a health provider ready to facilitate the standards of midwifery practice and promote the standards of quality in women's health care.

In her free time, Richardson loves participating in outdoor sports and activities, traveling and enjoying good food.
