While she has been a practicing nurse-midwife for over 20 years, Joanie is delighted to be the “new” midwife in the County Ob/Gyn family! Originally from Ohio, Joanie attended Oberlin college, graduating with a BA in Psychology and a minor in French. A brief time at Planned Parenthood fueled her interest in women’s health and propelled her to midwifery school at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. There she completed her Bachelor’s in Nursing, as well as a Master’s of Science in Nursing and a certification in Midwifery in 1996.
In 2000, Joanie moved to the New Haven area with her family. Ever since, she has enjoyed practicing full-scope midwifery; providing care to women from adolescence through menopause. She loves catching babies, providing prenatal care, routine GYN and contraceptive care. She also has a special interest in LGBTQ issues.
Joanie lives in Hamden with her husband Dan, her 2 cats Teddy and Bea, and periodically with her college age kids, Adele and Henry. When not in the office or on the labor floor, Joanie can be found exercising, reading, singing in her local choir, attempting to grow vegetables, or plotting a musical theater project.

Friendly, professional,knowledgeable. Answers and addresses questions. I just like her.
Not a good experience. Very judgmental towards decisions the patient wants and tries to sway you towards her opinion. Did not feel comfortable with her at all.
Very calm, friendly, and informative.
She was amazing and I felt comfortable with her
Joanie has a caring manner and addressed all my concerns. Always happy to have a visit with her.
Very kind and answered all of my questions! Really enjoyed my experience with her!
The best ever. She’s delivered two of my babies. Very caring, attentive, sweet, loving, good aura and overall an amazing nurse. Made me feel very uncomfortable during pregnancy, during delivery and post partum.
Professional, efficient, gentle and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her as your practitioner.
Joanie is truly the best! She has seen me and my family go from 0 to 2 children in 2 years. We love love seeing and getting to see Joanie when at county. Joanie makes us feel like family and answers all of our questions. Joanie thank you for everything! The small family :)
Sarah who is working under Dr. Messner is the best. I have never felt that comfortable with a physician or as good once I left. I will be requesting sarah for every future visit. Great hire by county.
