About

Barbara Hackley received a Masters of Science degree in Nurse-Midwifery from Columbia University in 1981. Over the last twenty years, she has worked in full scope midwifery clinical practice, education and public health in a variety of settings including refugee camps in Thailand, inner city clinics and hospitals, and rural health services. She founded the Women's Health Service at the Montefiore South Bronx Health Center for Children and Families in 1994, where she currently practices. She has taught at Columbia and Georgetown University, as well as in a refresher program for foreign-trained midwives, before joining the Yale faculty in 1997. She is a two-time recipient of the ACNM Excellence in Teaching Award and was awarded the 2001 Yale School of Nursing Annie W Goodrich Award for Excellence in Teaching. Currently, she teaches in the Nurse-Midwifery Specialization at Yale School of Nursing, where she is responsible for teaching GYN and primary care.

Her primary areas of interest focus on how to adapt clinical care and service delivery to effectively meet the health care needs of disadvantaged women. Much of her clinical work and scholarship has been on how to broaden traditional OB/GYN services to include more primary care services such as immunizations, weight management, mental health care, and protections from environmental pollutants.
