And Baby Makes…4,000!

Elizabeth Bary, a certified nurse midwife with
WomanCare, a Jeffersonville OB/GYN practice,
recently delivered her 4,000th baby. Lincoln Thomas
Miller was born at 9:45 a.m. Aug. 16 to parents Jill
and Matt Miller.
A passionate advocate for natural birth, Elizabeth
takes great pride in the milestone. “My relationship
with each mother and every baby is so special.
Delivering Lincoln was as exciting and rewarding
as the very first baby I delivered, and just as big a
privilege. It never, ever gets old.”
Elizabeth received her RN and BSN degrees from
Indiana University Southeast, and earned her
MSN and CNM designations from the University
of Kentucky. The most experienced nurse midwife
in the Kentuckiana region, she is a member of the
American College of Nurse-Midwives.
Elizabeth has been a driving force behind
WomanCare’s next project: the development of the
region’s first freestanding birth center. “It will allow
low-risk women the option of birthing in a facility
outside of the hospital and returning home in a few
hours with their newborn,” she explained.
