Lori Kur, MSN, CNM

Lori was inspired to become a certified nurse midwife (CNM) by the midwives she worked with when she was a labor and delivery nurse. Their approach to prenatal care was far more personalized and patient-centered than anything she had previously experienced.Lori loves being a CNM because every day is a new experience for her. She enjoys meeting new patients and getting to know them and their families while providing care. Lori is especially interested in reducing the primary cesarean section rate. She attended her first CNM conference on reducing primary cesarean sections in November 2016 and she credits that experience for guiding how she practices today.  Lori's family was very supportive of her decision to go back to school for midwifery and helped celebrate all of the milestones as she completed her degree.  She credits them for always pushing her to follow her dreams.  In her free time, Lori likes to play volleyball and hang out with her family and …friends. Her kids are active in soccer, swimming and volleyball which keeps her busy most days of the week. She also enjoys traveling with her husband. Her favorite destination so far has been Australia.  I encourage my patients to be active participants in their health care. I love working together to come up with a plan of care that they are happy with and can succeed at.
