Jennifer Friction, DNP, APRN, CNM is a Certified Nurse Midwife at Allina Health United Women's Health Clinic in St. Paul, MN and Allina Health East Lake Street Clinic in Minneapolis, MN.

Practice philosophy: I believe women deserve empowering care from a provider who listens, respects and understands their goals, and helps them understand their bodies and make informed choices about their health.
What are you passionate about and why? I became a midwife because I particularly love the privilege of guiding families through the journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and new parenthood! Beyond pregnancy and birth, I am passionate about helping women understand their bodies, their sexuality, and their choices.
What is something you have learned from your patients? Feeling heard, believed and respected is critical to form a trusting, effective partnership with my patients.
What are you most proud of? My children!
