859.323.9897 ukhealthcare.uky.edu UK Midwife Clinic prides themselves on treating patients as family. Patients can expect to form relationships built on respect; have both their hopes and fears honored; and see all their concerns addressed completely with compassion. UK Midwives are available by phone 24/7. From their first appointment, throughout pregnancy, and into labor and delivery, mothers will experience the continued presence of a trusted professional. Midwifery was integrated into the obstetrics department of UK to meet the community's need for care for healthy women with low-risk pregnancies. However, UK also possesses the experience, resources, and latest technologies to treat the highest risk pregnancies. And, UK houses the most state-of-the-art NICU in Kentucky. Four dedicated providers make up the clinic. With 35 years of nursing experience, 22 in midwifery, Dee Polito, serves as the Director and Chief Midwife. When she isn’t “catching babies” or working on her doctoral degree, Dee and her husband relish spending time in their cabin in the Red River Gorge. Lexington native Hayden Meza is recently married and enjoys traveling, gardening, cooking, and normalizing women’s health issues. JoAnne Burris is passionate about empowering women to make informed choices and exploring National Parks with her husband, daughter, son, and dog. When not on call, Chrissie Adams spends her time with friends and family, hanging out at local breweries, and keeping up with her one-year-old. photo supplied by UK Healthacre
