While visiting a friend who had recently returned home from New Mexico, Ellen felt the call of midwifery for the first time as a young woman entering the adult world around forty years ago. This friend had practiced Midwifery with Traditional Hispanic midwives, the Curandera-parteras. These traditional Midwives played a vital role in Ellen’s understanding of the underserved mothers and babies of Northern New Mexico. Her heart thrilled as she listened to the stories of the mothers bringing life into the world into the sacred hands of Curandera-parteras who served this underserved region for many years.

After much prayer and contemplation Ellen decided to follow the path of Midwifery through Nursing. She lived and was raised in Nashville, Tennessee and completed her A.D. in nursing in 1988, followed by her BSN in 2009. Ellen went to work as a labor and delivery nurse at the old Metro General Hospital, which is now closed, formerly located on the Cumberland River. A team of Nurse-Midwives served the women at the Metro General, and again, Ellen heard the strong call of midwifery on her life.

Ellen worked as a labor and delivery, post-partum, normal newborn and high risk newborn nurse for over 25 years. During this time, she raised her own family and continued her education as her children obtained theirs.

In 2011 Ellen had the opportunity to return to school, and now, after many years of working as a RN and raising her family, the call of Midwifery came to her again. She was able to enter Frontier School of Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nursing, founded by Mary Breckenridge. Ellen earned her MSN from The Frontier School of Nurse Midwifery in 2014 and went on to become a certified nurse midwife, fulfilling this lifelong dream and call.

Ellen again remembered the night with her friend years ago. The stories of birthing mothers, under the vast New Mexico desert sky, rich, misty, painfully blue and purple and the love, skill, dedication and healing of the Curandera-parteras. She remembered the first call within her spirit to a path of Midwifery.
Ellen has a deep belief that all birth is a sacred, spiritual experience for each mother and family and should be treated with respect and reverence. She believes in Shared Decision Making, Informed Consent, and Partnering with women. She has a long history of working in a hospital setting but has also attended home births in the traditional setting.

Fun Fact: Ellen recalls that she was born in Marietta Ga and when she was a small child she has fun memories of her family calling her a “Georgia Peach.”
Ellen is excited to return to Georgia, join the team at Providence Women’s Health Care and serve Georgia, where she was born.

Since I was little, I can remember wanting to deliver babies. My fascination with how new life came to be only grew as I became older, and this eventually led to me pursuing a career in obstetrics. As my education progressed I began to realize how much I also loved caring for women though out their lives, not just during their pregnancies. I truly cherish the long-term relationships I am able to maintain with my patients, and help to take care of them at the best and worst of times. Being able to make even a small difference in someone’s life, especially during difficult times, is what keeps me going!

I have always been drawn to women’s healthcare and health issues. I take pride and honor in being able to care for women from adolescence, to pregnancy, to post-menopause. It is a privilege to help a family bring a new life into this world but also to be there for the female healthcare issues throughout the stages of life.

I went into medicine in order to become an obstetrician and gynecologist. I fell in love with the obstetrical part of women’s care because of the involvement in the miracle of birth. In my opinion, there is no happier part of medicine. I am also drawn to the challenges of gynecology, and I am proud to be able to aid in women’s healthcare from adolescence to post-menopause and all that falls in between.

Trent Rice, MD, is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist who joined the team at The Women's Center, PC, located in Stockbridge and Conyers, Georgia, in 2014. A fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, Dr. Rice specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of female pelvic floor disorders, such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary/fecal incontinence, and mesh complications. He offers a wide array of conservative and surgical treatment options to his patients and is experienced both in traditional and minimally invasive surgical repairs.

Dr. Rice grew up in Winder, Georgia. He attended college at the University of Georgia, where he earned a degree in biochemistry and microbiology. He then attended the Medical College of Georgia and subsequently moved to New York City for his general OB/GYN residency training at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx. Most recently, he attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, where he completed his fellowship training in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (urogynecology). His fellowship training was unique in that it was a combined urogynecology and female urology program, one of the few in the nation. Dr. Rice is a fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists and has had several research publications published in his field’s leading journals. 

When asked why he became a urogynecologist, he states the specialty involves very functional surgery with a large quality of life impact. Simply put, it allows him to change the lives of women who are fearful of social embarrassment from their pelvic floor disorders and give them a life back.

Dr. Rice is happy to have come full circle and made it back to the north Georgia area. Outside of practicing medicine, he has special interests in music. He was a member of a local Athens rock band for many years and continues to enjoy composing and recording music. Recently he had an original song, “Hickory Hollow,” played on Nashville radio.

She graduated from Georgia Institute of Technology with a degree in genetics and molecular biology. She then worked at a private practice as an OB/GYN in Stockbridge before starting The Women's Center, PC in Conyers, Georgia. The practice quickly grew to expand to a Henry County office in Stockbridge. The practice includes five practitioners to help fulfill Dr. Gordon’s vision of comprehensive care for women.

Dr. Gordon was one of the first physicians in the nation to become board certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, also known as urogynecology, in 2013. She is a proctor to other physicians who wish to learn incontinence and pelvic prolapse procedures. She has also been voted "Top Doc" in Henry County's H Magazine multiple times. 

Dr. Gordon offers a complete array of services to her patients, and her special focus is on the treatment of heavy periods, incontinence, and minimally invasive surgeries. She sees patients in both offices and operates at Piedmont Henry Hospital and Rockdale Medical Center.

When asked why she went into gynecology, Dr. Gordon replies, "It is a wonderful field of medicine to practice. I get to see my patients on a reoccurring basis so I really get to know them and their families. Together, we can quickly identify their concerns and make a plan – together. I always include my patients in the decision-making process. Many of my patients’ problems can be resolved or improved in a short time frame. They are happy to get better and get on with their busy lives!" 

Dr. Gordon lives in McDonough, Georgia, with her husband, David, and her three daughters, who keep her life busy. She loves to travel to warm places, read voraciously, and never improves her tennis game.
