Gianna Fay, MSN, RN, CNM, WHNP-BC

Midwifery Innovation Director

Gianna is a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner (WHNP-BC) who lives in Detroit, MI. Gianna has been a birth worker since 2011 and has worked in a variety of settings to include community birth centers, large hospital teaching facilities and private practice.

Gianna’s introduction to birth work was in community birth centers in Southern California where she saw first-hand the positive impact that personalized, midwifery-led care can have on a pregnant family. While working with the Alaska Native community in Anchorage, Gianna learned the value of culturally congruent care where the healthcare system uniquely meets the needs of the community they serve by uplifting their voices and prioritizing their values.

As a Black mother and midwife working in metro Detroit hospitals, Gianna has gained a clearer understanding of her purpose to serve vulnerable families by using her presence to bridge the gap between their desires and the experience of the care they receive during pregnancy and birth. Gianna is energized by her work at BCE to support innovative business and clinical efforts to increase access to midwifery led birth center care for all families.

When Gianna is not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband and their three young children, exploring toddler-friendly activities in the metro Detroit area.
