Obstetrics and Women’s Health at CHCW.

Having a baby can be a very exciting time. Choosing the right clinic for your obstetric care is an important and personal decision. Our goal at CHCW’s Central Washington Family Medicine and Ellensburg clinics is to provide comprehensive and compassionate obstetric care. We are dedicated to the lifelong well-being of our patients, and believe every patient is unique and deserves individualized attention and care.

Family Medicine with Obstetrics

In addition to caring for you throughout your pregnancy and delivery, family medicine physicians provide primary care for infants, children, and adults. We often care for multiple generations within a family. After you deliver, we can continue to care for you and your baby, managing any acute or chronic conditions that arose during your pregnancy, and seeing you both for your routine wellness checks. We provide a full range of gynecologic services including routine pap smears and birth control options such as contraception prescriptions, IUDs, contraceptive implants, and tubal ligation. Because we can care for both you and your baby, we are also uniquely able to provide support with breastfeeding and manage any complications.

We offer these services in the Yakima and Ellensburg areas.

Pregnancy Care

We strive to provide you with all the information you need to during this dynamic time!

The experience of pregnancy can be very different from person to person. Please know that we are here to support you through this dynamic time. Always feel comfortable that you can contact us for any questions or concerns that you may have during your pregnancy and after! We have compassionate and empathetic physicians waiting for you!

You’ll notice that many of our primary care team members’ credentials include the title of Family Medicine with Obstetrics. This means that this provider is trained in managing pregnancies and delivering babies, in addition to providing primary care for all ages.

Benefits of Family Medicine Obstetrics

Choosing your family doctor for your obstetric care ensures a smooth transition into, and out of, prenatal care. There is no need for transfer of health records or time spent filling out new medical health history forms, and no new clinics. All of your care can be completed at your regular clinic.

We offer the same standard of care as well as all recommended and optional testing as an Ob/Gyn clinic. Once your baby is born, both you and your baby can continue to see your doctor going forward.

Our Obstetric providers work with normal and high-risk pregnancies. We will create a plan to meet your pregnancy needs. Our experienced, compassionate doctors offer prenatal care at Central Washington Family Medicine (CWFM) in Yakima, and Community Health of Central Washington- Ellensburg in Ellensburg. You will then usually deliver at MultiCare Yakima Memorial Hospital or Kittitas Valley Healthcare Hospital.

All of our training resident physicians also provide obstetric care and are regularly part of our patient’s prenatal care and deliveries.

We will coordinate your schedule of visits and tests during your pregnancy.
