Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM)

Jones Memorial Hospital is seeking a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) who is passionate about providing compassionate, relationship-based care and helping improve the health and well-being of women and families throughout our rural communities.

This is more than a midwifery position-it is an opportunity to become an integral member of a nationally recognized healthcare organization while practicing full-scope midwifery in a collaborative and supportive environment. Here, your voice matters. Your expertise is valued. And your work directly influences the lives of women, newborns, and families throughout the region.

As an affiliate of the University of Rochester Medical Center, Jones Memorial Hospital offers the best of both worlds: the personal connections and professional satisfaction of community-based care combined with access to the resources, specialty support, and clinical excellence of a leading academic health system.

You will join a collaborative Women's Health team that includes Obstetrician-Gynecologists, Family Medicine with Obstetrics physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, experienced nursing staff, and specialist support through UR Medicine. Together, we are committed to providing high-quality, patient-centered care close to home while continuing to strengthen access to women's health and maternity services throughout the region.

In addition, Jones Memorial Hospital offers a modern clinical environment that includes state-of-the-art operating rooms with robotic surgery capabilities, supporting advanced surgical care and a highly collaborative Women's Health program. Our active maternity program supports more than 420 deliveries annually, providing Certified Nurse Midwives with the opportunity to maintain a broad scope of practice while building meaningful relationships with patients and families throughout every stage of care.

Our commitment to excellence has earned national recognition, including designation as a Forbes Top Hospital for 2026, a 4-Star Overall Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and recognition by The Chartis Center for Rural Health as one of the nation's Top 100 Rural & Community Hospitals.

Whether you are an experienced Certified Nurse Midwife or a new graduate seeking your first provider role, Jones Memorial Hospital offers an exceptional opportunity to build a rewarding career while making a meaningful impact on the health of women and families throughout our region.
