Prairie Lakes Healthcare System (PLHS) named Watertown area native Michele (Micki) Cordell as the new Obstetrics (OB) Director. As the OB Director, Cordell will serve as the point of contact between PLHS and the physicians whose primary work area is OB and the newborn nursery.

Cordell grew up in Clark, SD and graduated with an Associate of Applied Science Nursing Degree (2002) from the University of South Dakota. While in nursing school Cordell experienced OB at PLHS and dreamed of working in the department. She currently has fifteen years experience as an OB nurse, the last ten at PLHS.

“I am passionate about patient-centered care and am excited to take this next step in my career as OB Director,” said Cordell.  “The best part about being an OB nurse is that I am privileged to witness the miracle of birth every day. I am in awe every time.”
