As a women’s health nurse practitioner and certified nurse midwife, Cindy Morin can offer a full spectrum of women’s health services to women of all ages, but she said she feels it is also important each of her patients receives more than just good medical care.

“I want each woman to have her own personal experience. I want her to feel like she is the most important person in my life for the time she is with me,” Morin said.

Morin, who has more than 20 years’ experience caring for the healthcare needs of women, recently joined nurse midwife Bridget Buck and ob-gyn Robert Howard at the Lincoln Medical Partner’s Women’s Center on the campus of Miles Memorial Hospital. 

Morin said that for her, the Women’s Center is the perfect place to practice because together, the three providers can offer a full spectrum of women’s health services, including obstetrics and gynecological care in an atmosphere where women are supported.

“We are all providing the best care to women,” Morin said. “We have the best of everything right here and we tailor their care to each woman’s needs and preferences.” 


Originally from Belfast, Morin has spent the past three decades living in Virginia, Alabama, England, Rhode Island, Colorado, California and other places where her husband Dan, a Weapons Systems Officer/Navigator for the U.S. Air Force, was stationed.

During that time, she has worked in women’s health centers and ob-gyn practices in several different settings, including Eglin Air Force Base in Eglin, Florida. Returning to Maine is coming home, she said.

“I love rural healthcare. I understand it. I am part of it, because I grew up in it,” Morin said.

After providing for all aspects of women’s healthcare for many years, Morin went back to school to become a Certified Nurse Midwife because her patients wanted her to be with them through the delivery experience.

She said the Women’s Center offers women the perfect blend of clinical resources and personal care during labor.

Because studies have shown that births that take place with a minimum level of intervention have the lowest chance of complications for mother and baby, the Women’s Center offers women a natural birth experience.

At the same time, through Miles Memorial Hospital, the Women’s Center offers the technology to provide the safest environment for mother and baby if intervention is necessary, said Morin.

“Here, everything is geared to the individual woman. Every patient wants a birth experience to be her special experience. One she has control over.”
