About Me:

Molly Strattan, Certified Nurse Midwife, developed her passion for midwifery and women’s health care as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Kenya. It was there she realized the importance of access to quality health care for women that needs to start during pregnancy and birth. Molly started her career in obstetrics at a small rural hospital in Alaska. She moved to Portland to get her Masters degree at OHSU. After school, she completed a fellowship in southern Texas at a free standing birth center run by the premier midwife, Sr. Angela Murdaugh. There she learned strong clinical skills as well as many midwifery techniques. Molly has worked at Southwest Family Physicians since 1999. From doing yearly pap smears and basic gyn care to providing prenatal and newborn care and breast feeding support, she loves her career as a midwife, balanced with being a wife and mother. Molly welcomes all types of families into her practice, traditional to alternative to multicultural.
