On May 10, the School of Nursing celebrated the 50th anniversary of its Nurse-Midwifery Program.
During the past half-century, Yale nurse-midwives have helped bring thousands of babies into the world, cared for thousands of families in the New Haven community, and contributed to better health care for women and families around the world.
Taking part in the May 10 celebration were New Haven residents whose families -- often for several generations -- have received care from a Yale nurse-midwife.
"Getting to know families over generations has had a positive impact on health care and quality of life in our community," according to Mary Ellen Rousseau, professor at the School of Nursing and director of the Yale Nurse-Midwifery specialty.
"Yale nurse-midwives are known for being expert clinicians, dedicated patient advocates and devoted, life-long friends," she adds.
