Provider Bio
Coco Rudy, CNM, is a certified nurse-midwife at Women's Healthcare Associates in Tualatin, Oregon.
From the Provider
“One thing I hope that every patient takes away from our time together is that they feel that they have been heard and treated with respect and dignity. I know how scary health care can be—especially when it comes to reproductive health—and I strive to create an inviting, safe, and non-judgmental environment.”
About the Provider
Coco and her brother were both born at home, attended by a certified nurse-midwife and she was raised to view pregnancy and childbirth as normal events and to trust and respect the strength and innate knowledge of women. Her volunteer experiences at the Women’s Community Clinic and as a doula at San Francisco General Hospital made her path to midwifery clear. In her practice, Coco strives to provide non-judgmental care, to make people feel heard and respected, to share unbiased information and to engage her patients as partners in healthcare decisions. Specific areas of clinical interest include family planning and contraceptive counseling, mental health and caring for women with substance use disorders. Coco has received additional training in psychiatric illness and substance abuse in women.
When she’s not working, Coco enjoys hiking, backpacking, dancing, traveling, attempting to garden and cooking.

Coco Rudy was AMAZING. Have never had such a positive experience with a doctor. Dealing with a difficult situation and she was incredible. Listened, was patient, talked through things so I understood, helped go over my options thoroughly and has already been great with my follow-up questions. Overall incredibly happy with my experience at WHA.

This was my first time meeting with Coco for OB care, as I am normally a Newberg patient and everything with funky with Covid. I was impressed with her ability to connect with me and make me feel heard and cared for. That's especially important right now as a pregnant patient in these uncertain times. The chances of her delivering with me are quite low, considering I'll hopefully deliver in Newberg, but I can say that I would be happy if she were the one there. Excellent bedside manner and knowledgeable.
