Steve Calvin, MD

Steve Calvin is a board-certified OB/GYN and Maternal-Fetal Medicine physician. He has more than 40 years of experience in caring for mothers and babies with the entire range of pregnancy concerns. This includes three years as a National Health Service Corp physician in Tucson AZ. He has been an adjunct faculty member of the UMN Dept of OB/GYN since 1989 and has served as Assistant Residency Director, Co-Director of the original UMN Riverside Service and has won the Faculty teaching award. As founder and medical director of the Minnesota Birth Center he strongly supports pregnancy care for low-risk mothers that is provided by nurse midwives in birth centers and hospitals. He believes that health care reform should start where we all did – with pregnancy and birth and that all mothers deserve comprehensive team-based care for a single package price.

He is currently in year three of an appointed four-year term on the US HHS Secretary’s Advisory Committee on Infant
and Maternal Mortality (ACIMM).
