WAYNESBORO, Miss. (WDAM) - Cynthia Odom has been a nurse midwife at Wayne General Hospital since 1995. In Mississippi, that’s a rare title to hold. “We have deserts all over the place, and midwifery is a valuable option,” Odom said. The state hasn’t had a midwife certification program since the 1970s. Odom told WDAM 7 she was certified in Kentucky. “I pursued the certification in midwifery, and at that time it was Frontier School of Midwifery And Family Nursing,” said Odom.
