Provider Bio

Jennifer Bishop, CNM, is a certified nurse-midwife with Women's Healthcare Associates in Portland, Oregon.

From the Provider

“Healthcare can be overwhelming and confusing. I strive to be an advocate for folks so they have a guide in navigating the system with confidence. Helping people understand their bodies and options then deciding on the path forward that feels most aligned with their identity is one of the things I appreciate most about the practice of nurse-midwifery. From choosing a method of contraception to helping someone come to terms with a difficult diagnosis—my goal is that each individual feels listened to, well-informed and in control of decision making.”

About the Provider

Jennifer deeply appreciates the impact health and wellness has on individuals and families. She enjoys caring for people and hopes that each person leaves feeling both heard and helped without judgement. She aspires to relate to people with an open heart and gentle humor using a trauma-informed approach.

Jennifer’s interests include caring for people of all ages and body sizes in the clinic. She enjoys helping with a wide range of gynecological, urogynecological and obstetric care, including wellness/preventative health, contraception, options counseling, prenatal and postpartum care, urinary problems and pelvic organ prolapse.

Jennifer's previous experience includes working at WHA’s past Midwifery Birth Center, caring for local and indigenous people in Guatemala and completing a fellowship at a volunteer-run birth center on the border in Texas. She is a self-avowed cat lady who enjoys being in nature, dancing, cooking, crafting and cliché midwifery puns.

    When serving a diverse population, it's best to ask patient how to pronounce their name rather going out of your way to avoid saying their name. It's rude and quite obvious.
