HOUGHTON COUNTY – Pregnancy and childbirth are monumental moments in a woman’s life, and every woman deserves safe, supportive care when bringing new life into the world. However, access to quality maternal care can be limited in some rural areas. Upper Great Lakes Family Health is addressing this by expanding their midwifery and OB/GYN services, bringing expert care to the Keweenaw.
Christiann Rosemurgy, CNM, WHNP-BC, and Taylor Landers, CNM, have joined the Upper Great Lakes Women’s Health team. They join Ashley Chamberlain, CNM, and Dr. Evon Schexnaydre, OB/GYN, forming the Upper Great Lakes Women’s Health team. Bailey Patrick, Chief Operating Officer at Upper Great Lakes, expressed excitement about the new additions. “Upper Great Lakes is deeply committed to investing in and providing the essential health services that our local community needs. We are excited to announce the expansion of our team with both Christiann Rosemurgy, CNM, WHNP-BC, and Taylor Landers, CNM, joining our practice. Additionally, we have an OB/GYN joining our team in February and another in July,” says Patrick.
Christiann Rosemurgy became the first certified nurse midwife in the Keweenaw in 2014 and has been practicing in the area with a vast skill set. “I have been blessed with a career where my patients become friends, and I’ve been able to be there for their special deliveries and growing families,” says Christiann. She specializes in perinatal health through delivery and full-scope women’s health care. Christiann received her Master of Science in Nursing-Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner from Georgetown University.

I advocate for safe, personalized midwifery care. My goal is to empower individuals to make informed decisions while promoting the health and well-being of mothers and infants,” says Taylor.
