Meet Bowen Midwife Aleisha Johnson

The magic of childbirth is not lost on Bowen hospital registered midwife Aleisha Johnson.

Her hard work and dedication is clear in everything she does, and she was nominated for the International Nurses Day Clinical Excellence Award in May.

Aleisha has been a registered nurse, midwife and diabetes educator for 26 years, living in four states, but has called Bowen home for 14 years.

“I like to share in that joyous bit of life,” Aleisha said.

“Especially being able to do antenatal care with someone the whole way through.

“It’s important and special to be able to have that rapport with people.

“I guess also being in a small town, we get to know our mothers quite well.”
