March 14, 2024 – OSF HealthCare and Advanced Women’s Healthcare hosted an open house and ribbon cutting Thursday for its new women’s obstetrics care center in Forsyth.
A team of obstetrician/gynecologists and certified nurse midwives from Advanced Women’s Healthcare are seeing patients for well-woman, prenatal, and postpartum care at the medical office building in Forsyth (located at 845 US Route 51). They include Dele Ogunleye, MD, obstetrician and gynecologist, along with three other certified nurse midwives Lindsay Bustle, CNM, Cathy Hinton, CNM, Laura Muehling, CNM, Lilly Ott, CNM, Sarah Shoemaker, CNM, and Annelise Smith, CNM.
Advanced Women’s Healthcare providers and OSF will also be opening a location in Lincoln (602 Woodlawn Road) in April.
“This new select service offering is in alignment with OSF’s long-standing tradition of helping women access high-quality, compassionate clinical care where they need it,” said Jennifer Ulrich, interim president of OSF HealthCare St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington. “Our relationship and all services offered in our hospitals and clinics align with our OSF Mission, Values and our ethical commitments as a Catholic health care ministry and ensure holistic and caring obstetrics care for all women in the area communities.”
“We continue to see a shortage of obstetricians and gynecologists across the nation,” said Dr. Ogunleye. “This model of midwife care is an answer, allowing for a superior patient experience with more time for each woman. We are pleased to collaborate with OSF to expand this service.”
