Darla Berry worked as an RN for 8 years before becoming a midwife in 1998. She comes to Putnam County with 25 years of midwifery experience, most recently having established the midwifery practice at IU Health-Riley. She is now working her life’s passion, collaborating with the OB/GYN team at Union Hospital, to ensure that women in our maternity desert counties have access to patient-centered, relationship-focused healthcare. Darla believes that midwives bring a unique perspective and model of care to every phase of a woman’s life – one that relies on relationship, trust, and respect between provider and patient. Darla and her husband have four children (one DePauw graduate!) and live on the westside of Indianapolis. When she’s not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends.
