Cheryl Carney is a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP). Leslie Schear is also a CNM and an ARNP, and is fluent in Spanish. The two women’s health providers are now serving patients in Bonney Lake and Enumclaw.

Cheryl and Leslie offer personalized compassionate midwifery care for expectant mothers as well as general gynecologic services for women from adolescence through childbirth and menopause.

“I enjoy serving the women who come to our clinic,” said Cheryl, “I get to stand by them as they grow their families and provide the full range of women’s health care.”

Babies will be delivered at the Family Birth Center at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Enumclaw which has spacious, private birthing suites.

“I’m excited to educate and support the women who live on the Plateau,” said Leslie, “Offering them individualized care and personalized birth plans are part of what I love to do.”

The introduction of midwifery services in Enumclaw and Bonney Lake comes in response to patient demand for increased prenatal care and delivery options. With one of the largest and most successful certified nurse midwife programs in the state of Washington, CHI Franciscan Health’s midwives have been practicing throughout the greater Tacoma area for more than 34 years.
