As part of Ephraim McDowell Health’s (EMH) dedication to best serve the needs of mothers and babies in our community, two certified nurse midwives have been hired to assist our three board-certified Obstetrics and Gynecology (OB-GYN) physicians. Tonya New, APRN-CNM, and Lauren Paynter, APRN-CNM, have joined Drs. Jennifer Stivers, James Hourigan and Anne Turcea.

Both Tonya and Lauren are certified nurse practitioners and midwives, credentialed by the American Midwifery Certification Board. They specialize in obstetrics, gynecology, and preventive medicine that focuses on the health of women at every stage of life.

Patients who are established and have appointments with these providers should now call (859) 239-6590. Patients will be seen temporarily at 120 Daniel Drive in Danville.
