Ruth Wingeier, CNM, retired from her home birth midwifery practice on 1/1/2020 after 37 years of full-scope nurse-midwifery and assisting at 2000 births in Long Prairie, Minnesota. She and her husband will enjoy country life: gardening in the summer, making maple syrup in the spring, canning & freezing produce in the fall, cross-country skiing in the winter, and running our post-Civil War log cabin for those who like the experience of living off the grid.
