title: Trendsetter: Celeste Phillips, the mother of family-centered maternity care.
abstract: Celeste Phillips has been a proponent of family-centered maternity care and the single-room model of maternity care for her entire career. As a young nurse, she developed a strong philosophy that the childbearing experience belongs to the family, not the caregivers. To spread this philosophy to others and facilitate change, she has been a labor and delivery nurse, a nurse educator, an author, a consultant, and the principal of a leading women's health consulting firm. Her influence on clinical practice has made her a trendsetter.
