Julie Bache has always been intrigued by a woman’s ability to birth a child and then have such an immediate emotional connection, loving and caring for her child infinitely. During her time studying life sciences at the University of Maryland College Park, she realized her calling was to become a midwife. Her time as a labor and delivery nurse at Prince George’s County Hospital taught her how to support mothers and families during such an important time in their lives. After training as a student at Bay Area Midwifery, she became part of the team in 2013. She views becoming a midwife as a lifelong commitment to be present with women. She is dedicated to being there to listen, help, touch, support, guide, counsel, educate, and communicate with all women that she encounters. For her, midwifery is not a job, but a lifelong calling of both love and devotion.
Hospitals across Maryland, including Luminis Health, are seeing increased flu-related visits that may lead to longer emergency department wait times. We recommend wearing a mask at all Luminis Health locations, using Virtual Urgent Care for non-emergency needs, and going to the Emergency Department for severe or life-threatening symptoms while we continue to support our teams and care for our communities.
