For Certified Nurse Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Amber Lavin, caring for women through every stage of life isn’t just her profession—it’s her passion. From annual wellness visits and reproductive health to prenatal care and delivering babies, Amber offers comprehensive women’s health services at Bitterroot Health – Stevensville Clinic, while also supporting families through labor and delivery at Bitterroot Health’s Birthing Center in Hamilton.
“I love that I can care for women through all seasons of their lives—from adolescence through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond,” says Lavin. “And when it’s time to give birth, I’m right there with them, supporting them every step of the way.”
Originally from Darby, Lavin earned both her Bachelor’s and Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees from the University of Utah. Before joining Bitterroot Health in late 2024, she spent nearly a decade providing midwifery and women’s healthcare at Logan Health in Kalispell and Blackfeet Community Hospital in Browning.
