About

Annemarie Curnin’s nursing education began at St. Vincent’s Hospital School of Nursing in New York City. After graduation, she worked alongside nurse-midwives—an experience she found to be transformative. Annemarie later attended Columbia University for nurse-midwifery and began her midwifery journey at North Central Bronx Hospital. In addition to hospital settings, she has worked with many communities, including through Maternal-Infant Care (MIC) Project, with the Amish in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and at a birthing center in Cap-Haitien, Haiti. Experienced in urban and rural and reproductive health, Annemarie is a member of Maine’s Maternal Health Task Force, and ACME’s Board of Review. A certified Nurse Educator, Annemarie received her DNP and MPH from Johns Hopkins University (School of Nursing and Bloomberg School of Public Health), where she also earned a Certificate in Global Health. Annemarie is a member of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing and the Delta Omega Honorary Society in Public Health.

Annemarie organized and leads a team of APRN’s that created a multi-disciplinary framework to address maternal health deficiencies in the U.S., called M-NEST. She has also studied and written on obstetrical triage processes and is interested in collaborative team care between midwives and obstetricians.

Annemarie recently relocated to Connecticut from Maine, where she worked in a midwifery practice that provided a laborist model, offered water births, and featured Centering Pregnancy. She is a strong advocate for patient-centered care. Annemarie is a lecturer on the midwifery faculty and will be caring for pregnant people at YNHH. She has over 30 years of clinical experience in midwifery. Grateful for all the teachers and mentors in her career, Annemarie is excited to educate the next generation of nurse-midwives.
