HONORING NURSES: Tanya Singleton's career dedicated to bringing babies into the world

By her own admission, Tanya Singleton was “fascinated by all things birth” during her formative years growing up in rural Alabama. She watched as the neighbors’ dogs delivered puppies, and in her teens began working part-time in a local health clinic.
“There were still homebirth midwives—what we call ‘granny midwives’ down south—that delivered babies,” Singleton recalls, adding that soon she shadowed doctors and the midwives to assist in home deliveries in rural Greene County.
She was accepted into the University of Alabama’s nursing program, and knew this had to be her vocation.
