JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Sept. 2, 2020) – Lt. Cmdr. Christine Higgins, a certified nurse midwife at Naval Hospital Jacksonville, performs an ultrasound during a prenatal appointment. Higgins, a native of Providence, Kentucky, holds a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Emory University. National Midwifery Week is Oct. 4 – 10. “Midwives have a unique role in ensuring a ready force. There was a saying that I learned when working with Women, Peace and Security when deployed on Pacific Partnership 2015, ‘the health of a nation can be determined by the overall wellness of its women.’ So, for military medicine, we are a crucial part of the team and I'm honored to be of service.” (U.S. Navy photo by Jacob Sippel, Naval Hospital Jacksonville/Released).
