Accepting new patients

No ratings to display.

Why aren't there any ratings?

There is no publicly available rating for this care provider for one of three reasons:

  1. They do not see patients.
  2. They see patients but have not yet received the minimum number of patient experience reviews. To be eligible for display, we require a minimum of 30 surveys. This ensures that the rating is statistically reliable and an accurate reflection of patient experience.
  3. They see patients but do not see enough patients to collect a statistically-reliable patient experience rating.

About me

Cathy Emeis specializes in all aspects of pregnancy care, perimenopause and family planning. Her research interests include midwifery education, quality improvement and midwifery workforce issues. Cathy is very happy that she chose the field of nursing and midwifery and enjoys helping ensure that pregnancy and childbirth is a normal, healthy process for patients and their families.

She feels privileged to teach and practice at OHSU. She directs the OHSU Nurse-Midwifery Education Program, which is consistently ranked as one of the top Nurse-Midwifery Education Programs in the U.S.

When she’s not working, Cathy is learning to grow beautiful roses, and enjoys biking, spending time with her family, and exploring Oregon.

Childbirth and pregnancy philosophy:

"As nurse-midwives, we are experts in normal pregnancy and strive to preserve normalcy for patients and their families. I enjoy working within a system that values the entire obstetric team."

Insurance

Before scheduling your appointment, we recommend you contact your insurance company to verify that the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is included in your network. Your insurance company will also be able to inform you of any copayments, co–insurance, or deductibles that will be your responsibility. If you proceed in scheduling an appointment and your health insurance benefits do not participate with OHSU providers, your out of pocket liability may be higher. Visit the billing and insurance section of our site for more information.
