Not every path is a straight line.
In our latest episode of The Real Boone Podcast, Carrington Pertalion shares the winding road that led her to becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife serving women across the High Country for more than 25 years.
From dropping out of high school at 16 and working in commercial fishing to opening her own practice and eventually returning to public health.
We talk about:
• What people often misunderstand about midwifery
• Why healthcare should focus on the person, not the clock
• The risks and rewards of building something of your own
• What it means to care for generations of women in the same community
Some careers are jobs. Some become a life’s work.
