Julie Bell joined Baystate Ob/Gyn Group in 2008. With over 26 years of tenure in women's healthcare including 18 years as a labor and delivery nurse and ten years as a nurse midwife, Julie blends her vast "knowledge from experience" with her educational background to provide her patients with consistent, experienced midwifery care.
Julie's work with diverse populations both in urban and rural settings as well as her experiences as a parent of grown children and teenagers bring forth an intimate knowledge of the challenges faced by young women today. Her ability to connect with her patients and guide them through difficult situations in the context of achieving wellness is what makes her so appealing to women throughout all stages of their lives.
"I believe in caring for the whole woman in the context of her life and family with the understanding that we all work hard to juggle many competing demands on our time and attention."
Embracing the notion of wellness through support and guidance, Julie is currently a facilitator for the CenteringPregnancy® program at Baystate Ob/Gyn, providing group prenatal care.
