Room to Grow
With this new space has come the
ability to expand and offer new
services – specifically Certified
Nurse Midwives – Kelli Stephenson,
DNP, CNM, and Catherine O’Brien,
DNP, CNM. The word “midwife”
literally translates, “with women,”
meaning that their primary role is
to provide safe, compassionate,
evidence-based care that is mindful
to the desires and needs of women
Dedicated
and their families. Midwives are able
to care for low-risk pregnancies
and women in later stages of
life for gynecology. They work
collaboratively with the OB/GYN for
consultations and with higher-risk
pregnancies.
As we continue to look toward
the future of women’s care in
our community, this new space
has room to grow – space for
new healthcare providers and
room to care for more women
in our community. We have
more appointments available for
gynecology and for obstetric care
than we have had in the past. No
longer limited by space, we
are poised to meet the growth of
our community.
Welcome
We want to invite our community
of women to experience this new
space for yourselves and to entrust
us with your care. We are now
welcoming new patients at the
Good Shepherd Women’s Center
located in the Good Shepherd
Medical Plaza at 620 NW 11th Street
in Hermiston. Services include well-
woman exams, family planning,
obstetrics, and gynecological care.
To schedule an appointment

Family Birth Center
Our OB/GYN and CNM team work collaboratively with the Good
Shepherd Family Birth Center located on the second floor of the
hospital. The Family Birth Center provides the best in maternity
care services. Our birthing suites are comfortable and come
complete with Sanijet Jacuzzi tubs to help ease your labor pains,
comfortable couches for your support person, and rocking chairs

Our OB/GYN physicians, Diana Edenfield, MD, Leila Keeler, DO,
and Allison Khavkin, MD, are an integral part of this collaborative
team. They are available for all facets of OB/GYN care and provide
consultation and collaboration with the Certified Nurse Midwives
(CNMs) as needed. They are available for higher-risk pregnancies,
provide annual gynecological services, and gynecological surgeries
– including da Vinci robotic-assisted surgeries, which offer speedier
recovery, and reduced pain and scarring.
