Specialist in Midwifery
Lisa Blount is a certified Nurse Midwife Specialist at Galen OB/GYN East. She grew up in the state of Arkansas. She attended Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas for her undergraduate degree in Communications with a specialty in Public Relations. She received her master’s degree in nursing with a specialty in midwifery from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. She has been practicing as a Certified Nurse-Midwife for 12 years.
Lisa chose midwifery because she wanted to provide women’s health care and prenatal care for her patients. She believes it is a great balance of being both in the office and hospital. Lisa enjoys being a part of midwifery because she gains the opportunity to help patients feel empowered with choices. Her care philosophy is that midwives are experts in normal. She tells her patients that she is the narrator of their journey. With patients, she will discuss the risks, benefits, and alternatives for all their options and support them as they make the decisions that are best for them and their bodies.
Lisa’s hobbies include reading, playing the piano, singing, kayaking, going to the movies, playing board games with friends and family, trying new local restaurants, and traveling. Her ideal day off of work includes spending time with her two nephews and niece and hanging out with her three dogs. Lisa’s favorite part about Chattanooga is being near her family and friends; it has been so good for her heart.

Midwives are experts in normal birth and are skilled at managing and ensuring excellent outcomes for women and infants. I always tell clients that I am the narrator of their journey – I discuss risks, benefits, and alternatives for all their options and support them as they make the decisions that are best for them and their bodies.
