Kassandra Cordeiro CNM

Kassandra Cordeiro, CNM, earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Rhode Island College in Providence, Rhode Island before beginning her career as a registered nurse at Southcoast Health. 

She was originally inspired to become a nurse by helping her family care for her great-grandmother. She has always had an interest in obstetrics and gynecology, and her experience as a registered nurse led her to pursue further education to become a certified nurse midwife. Kassandra went on to earn her Master of Science as a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) from Frontier Nursing University in Versailles, Kentucky. 

In this role, Kassandra’s clinical interests include maternal mental health and wellbeing, PMS/PMDD and hormonal imbalances, sexual health, preventative care, pre-conceptual counseling, and vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

As a certified nurse midwife, Kassandra delivers holistic and complementary care in a safe and nurturing environment. She prioritizes treating each patient with compassion, and respect while serving as an advocate for mental health resources, especially for those struggling with antenatal or postpartum depression. In her experience she finds that shared decision-making is key to partnering, tailoring, and personalizing each patient’s health journey. 

Outside of work, Kassandra enjoys strength training, yoga, gardening and traveling. 

Kassandra is bilingual in English and Portuguese.
