Erica Robertson, RN, CLC is HERE FOR EVERY STEP!
Erica Robertson, RN, CLC – OB Coordinator, OB Clinic Nurse, and Certified Lactation Counselor has worked at Promise Community Health Center for nine years. Before joining our team, she worked at Sioux Center Health in Medical Surgery, OB, and the Emergency Room. She had not considered being a home birth nurse until she learned about Promise’s home birth team. After seeing the impact Promise Community Health Center was making in the community, she was drawn to it. Just one home birth later, she knew she had found her calling. Erica feels it is a great privilege to be involved in a woman’s healthcare to support them and their families. “Promise doesn’t just say we have a mission, Promise lives that mission out by helping others as a team,” Erica Robertson shares.
Some of the women’s health services Erica Robertson offers are:
• Free confidential pregnancy tests
• Lactation Consultations
• Assisting at prenatal appointments
• Natural Birth Preparation prenatal classes
• More!
Some of Erica’s favorite aspects of her job are being the first to be able to share ultrasounds pictures with a family and getting to know and educate families throughout pregnancies. Promise’s experienced Women’s Health team offers care that is attentive to the needs of the patient and their growing family. The team supports women through every stage of change in their life.
I love being an OB nurse because there is nothing comparable to the beauty of birth and seeing a little baby take their first breath. It is so rewarding to work with people throughout their lives!– Erica Robertson, OB Coordinator, OB Clinic Nurse, Certified Lactation Counselor
Erica recommends considering a midwife for your pregnancy. Midwives specialize in low-risk prenatal care and birth; they also take the time to listen to you and make sure you are heard. The Promise women’s health team consults with families to ensure a healthy pregnancy/birth. Even if home birth is not something you are considering or comfortable with, Erica recommends care from a midwife!
