Catherine Tambroni-Parker, CNM

"Educating patients and helping the 'newborn family' begin life together on a firm footing are integral parts of my practice. Health, happiness and an optimistic view of the future are my goals for each new family."

Catherine Tambroni-Parker came to Beaufort Memorial Obstetrics & Gynecology Specialists in summer 2016 from Park Ridge Health in Hendersonville, North Carolina, where she worked as a certified nurse-midwife. She includes among her professional interests providing patients and their families with a solid base of knowledge during prenatal visits.

Mrs. Tambroni-Parker, who for 15 years cared for patients in underserved Upstate New York, comes from a long line of women in health care. Her grandmother and aunt were both midwives, one in Italy and the U.S., the other in Britain. She herself has delivered more than 3,000 babies. Earlier, she served as a labor and delivery, primary care and triage nurse as well as a maternal-child health nurse/educator. She has also volunteered for the Syracuse Marine Parents Support Group and as a nurse at 4-H Camp Overlook in Mountain View, New York.

Mrs. Tambroni-Parker and her husband, Michael, have three grown children. An avid hiker, gardener and kayaker, she loves the water and spending time with her grandchildren.
