Alisa (Alyssa) Dickerson is a dedicated Certified Nurse-Midwife based in Huntington, Indiana, bringing compassionate care to her community since the onset of the pandemic in Spring 2020.

What is Concierge Healthcare
Concierge Medicine
Concierge Medicine is an alternative primary care model built on a better relationship between the provider and patient without the hassles of the traditional primary care experience. Patients pay for the service with cash, credit card, or HSA card rather than using their health insurance, which allows enhanced access, convenience, and additional services.
Concierge medicine allows the provider to see far fewer patients than traditional primary care providers and spend more time with each patient.
What is a Certified Nurse-Midwife
- Midwifery as practiced by certified nurse-midwives (CNMs) encompasses the independent provision of care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the
postpartum period; sexual and reproductive health; gynecologic health; and family planning
services, including preconception care. - Midwives also provide primary care for individuals from
adolescence throughout the lifespan as well as care for the healthy newborn during the first 28
days of life. - Midwives provide initial and ongoing comprehensive
assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. They conduct physical examinations; independently prescribe medications including but not limited to controlled substances, treatment of substance use disorder, and expedited partner therapy; admit, manage, and discharge patients; order and
interpret laboratory and diagnostic tests; and order medical devices, durable medical equipment, and home health services. - Midwifery care includes health promotion, disease prevention, risk assessment and management, and individualized wellness education and counseling.
- These services are provided in partnership with individuals and families in diverse settings such as ambulatory care clinics, private offices, telehealth and other methods of remote care delivery, community and public health systems, homes, hospitals, and birth centers.
