Melissa Tucker Petersen, Perinatal Bereavement nurse, has had an interest in childbirth and labor since she was young. This spurred her desire to become a Labor & Delivery nurse, and last year she was named a March of Dimes Nurse of the Year for her achievements and passion.

"To be a part of the team that is Northside Labor & Delivery is a privilege. To witness so many truly giving and skilled nurses make critical decisions every day is awesome. It is also a humbling experience to walk a journey with a patient and to get a glimpse of what they are going through,” says Melissa.

Northside appreciates your hard work and kindness, Melissa!
