Meet Senja Ruuska
Philosophy of Care
My goal is to provide individualized patient and family-centered care through support and education. Pregnancy and birth are life events unlike any other, and partnering with patients as they make informed decisions is an important part of my role. Before becoming a midwife, I worked for 20 years as a labor and delivery nurse. I believe a low-intervention approach makes a difference in patient safety and satisfaction.
Personal Interests
In my free time I enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, traveling, CrossFit, reading, knitting, and spending time with my family.
