Angela Sojobi, PhD, DNP, CNM, WHNP-BC is the lead midwife at Martin Luther King Community Hospital (MLKCH). Angela’s journey as a midwife started in Nigeria, her home country, where she graduated as a midwife in 1980 and practiced until she immigrated to the United States in 1985. Angela recertified as a midwife in the United States in 1994 and has continued to practice midwifery since then. Driven by her desire to change the statistics regarding disparities in perinatal outcome among minority women, especially African American women, Angela and her team of midwives, supported by OBGYNs have provided exemplary care to the women at MLKCH since its opening in 2015. Angela strives to provide high quality, dignified, and equitable care to women throughout the lifespan, with special focus on preventing adverse perinatal outcomes. When she is not delivering babies, Angela enjoys spending time with her family and her two puppies, traveling, reading, hiking, and sewing.
