About
Michelle Wright has been with Beacon for 16 years. After starting her medical career as a Patient Care Assistant, she was encouraged and supported by everyone she worked with as she moved up the ladder. She’s been a Registered Nurse (Certified OB), a Specialty Nurse (maternal fetal medicine and OBGYN), a Registered Nurse in the Emergency Room and finally became a Midwife.
“I’m a healthcare professional who provides care to women. That includes: gynecological, prenatal, labor and delivery, and postnatal visits,” she says. “After my delivery experience of my first child, I remember thinking to myself, ‘I want to be a midwife and give everyone the care they deserve, regardless of age or income.’ ”
Her philosophy as a provider is to deliver compassionate, dignified, and holistic care to all her patients. In her work she is reminded that each person’s experiences in life can shape their perception of the world. “Nobody has the exact same experience – learn from them,” she says.
From her education she learned that passion and determination will push you on the tough days. She strives to be her patients’ advocate and finds solutions through shared decision making and evidence-based practice.
Michelle hopes her patients can say, “She empowered me and gave me a voice in my medical care.”
In her own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? On a personal level, my children are the most influential. On a professional level, all of my coworkers, managers, patients, and peers who positively contributed to who I am. Specifically, Dr. Willie Donald who saw the passion and love I have for Midwifery and encouraged me to return to school.
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? McDonald’s. Free food! We would also play around in the PlayPlace after closing.
What is your favorite food? Movie? My favorite thing to eat is British foods. There’s nothing like a Chip Shop dinner with a little curry sauce to dip the fries (chips) into. Favorite movie is The Notebook or Dirty Dancing
What was your best/worst subjects in school growing up? Best subject was Science. Worst subject was Social Studies.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My children. Any chance I can get, I’ll take it
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests? I am passionate about my children. I feel so grateful to be a mother to my four children. Traveling, riding my bike, horseback riding, and running (it’s mostly a fast walk).
Do you have pets? A dog (Havapoo) – she is my therapy.
What is something most people don’t know about you? I was born and raised in England until the age of 13. I have dual citizenship and still a little bit of my accent.
