The National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) recently shared the following action alert regarding federal funding for midwifery education. We are sharing the information below for those who may be interested.
Dear Midwifery Community,
Please take just two minutes before June 5th to contact your Members of Congress and urge them to protect the midwifery set-aside in the final FY 2027 Labor, HHS Appropriations Bill!
This funding isn’t just a line item; it’s a lifeline for the programs that educate and train the next generation of midwives who will serve families and communities across the country.
Accredited midwifery education programs support all nationally recognized midwifery credentials — Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs), Certified Midwives (CMs), and Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs). Without this funding, these programs and the expanded access to midwifery-led care they make possible are at risk.
The Massachusetts chapter of the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives is in the middle of establishing licensure in their state and is offering free membership to local midwifery students based in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Southern New Hampshire or Southern Vermont.
Participating in the local chapter is a good way for students to stay up-to-date. To connect, contact peacemidwifery@gmail.com or the local chapter at admin@machapternacpm.com
Starts THURSDAY! If yours near the Sacramento area and in your first year of school, this training will boost your confidence, provide you with the hands-on time to learn skills and build your ability to excell in your clinicals. Preceptors love it!
