Description
Heidi Loomis, DM, CNM, CRNP is Regional Clinical Faculty at Frontier Nursing University. She is a certified nurse-midwife and family nurse practitioner who has worked in family practice and women’s health, most recently as a midwife for the Geisinger Health System in Central Pennsylvania where she has been employed for over twenty years. She is a graduate of Juniata College, Yale, Frontier, and Thomas Jefferson Universities. She provides full-scope midwifery care including preventative health care. While most of the labor and birth care she provides is in the hospital, she also has experience supporting women who choose to give birth at home. In addition to clinical care, she has participated in the expansion of midwifery services and the growth of a robust midwifery program in the Lewistown and State College, Pennsylvania communities. Her work in education includes the training of midwives, family nurse practitioners, and family medicine residents. Her doctoral work exploring graduate midwifery students’ experiences of bias in clinical settings was supported, in part, with a grant from The A.C.N.M. Foundation, Inc., and the W. Newton Long Award Fund.
