School of Nursing

Karen Saxer has been a Certified Nurse-Midwife for more than 20 years and is currently pursuing a doctorate of nursing practice. She is interested in exploring how nurse-midwives can effectively contribute to high quality maternity care in North Carolina. Karen envisions that a Certificate in Innovation for the Public Good will allow her to broadly design ways to foster new partnerships for midwives with consumers, insurers, and population health experts among others. Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, reading, watching hockey, and spending time with family and friends.
