Midwives are primary health care providers to women throughout the lifespan. This means that midwives perform physical exams, prescribe medications including contraceptive methods, order laboratory tests as needed, provide prenatal care, gynecological care, labor and birth care, as well as health education and counseling to women of all ages.

REPOST
This week marks a historic step forward for access to midwifery care in Pennsylvania.
ACNM celebrates the signing of Senate Bill 507, now Act 14 of 2026, which modernizes Pennsylvania’s midwifery laws and officially establishes licensure for Certified Midwives (CMs) in the commonwealth.
This legislation is especially significant because it expands pathways into the midwifery profession while increasing access to high-quality maternal healthcare for families across Pennsylvania. Certified Midwives are highly skilled midwifery professionals educated in the same graduate-level midwifery competencies and national certification standards as Certified Nurse-Midwives, who came to midwifery with degrees in areas other than nursing. Licensing CMs helps grow the reproductive and primary healthcare workforce at a time when many communities continue to face shortages particularly for pregnancy and postpartum care providers.
The law also strengthens opportunities for collaborative care, updates outdated licensure requirements, and expands prescription authority in certain circumstances, including medications used to treat substance use disorders. These changes will help improve access to evidence-based care, particularly in rural and underserved communities.
We applaud the bipartisan leadership of , advocates, healthcare professionals, and families who helped advance this important legislation and move maternal health forward in Pennsylvania.

Today, Georgia Midwives proudly celebrates the dedicated midwives serving families and communities across our state. 💙

Midwives are essential to improving maternal health outcomes in Georgia through compassionate, evidence-based, and community-centered care. From pregnancy and birth to postpartum support, midwives help families feel informed, empowered, and cared for every step of the way.

On International Day of the Midwife, we honor the commitment, resilience, and impact of Georgia’s midwives and birth workers. Thank you for the lives you touch and the care you provide throughout our communities.

We’re standing with Atlanta Birth Center during this important transition for maternity care in our community. 💛

After 10 years of serving Atlanta families and welcoming more than 3,000 babies, Atlanta Birth Center will pause birth center deliveries effective September 30, 2026, as they prepare for a new chapter and expanded care options.

This is a reminder of how vital birth centers and midwifery care are in Georgia — and why protecting access to community birth options matters.

Sending love and support to the Atlanta Birth Center team and the families they serve. 💫

REPOST. We encourage you to attend this FREE virtual summit.

• It’s official — registration is OPEN for Bridging the Birthing Gap™ Summit!✨

When I first shared the vision for this summit, so many of you commented, shared, tagged colleagues, and affirmed what I already felt deeply:

This conversation is needed. OVERDUE.

Across maternal and infant care, there are so many people working to support mothers, babies, and families:

OB/GYNs. Midwives. Pediatricians. Neonatologists. Nurses. Doulas. Lactation professionals. Perinatal mental health professionals. Advocates. Community leaders.

But even when everyone cares, gaps can still exist.

Gaps in communication.
Gaps in trust.
Gaps in role clarity.
Gaps in referrals.
Gaps in postpartum support.
Gaps between birth and the NICU.
Gaps between the hospital and home.

And when collaboration breaks down, families feel it. Live it. Carry it.

That is why I created Bridging the Birthing Gap™ — a virtual summit designed to strengthen trust, clarity, communication, and collaboration across the maternal-infant care continuum.

Over two days, we will talk about:

✨ who’s who in perinatal care
✨ where tension comes from
✨ shared language and shared goals
✨ supporting families after birth
✨ why the NICU is postpartum too
✨ referral gaps and continuity of care
✨ what collaboration looks like when it works
✨ how we move from silos to synergy

This is not about proving which role matters most.❗️

It is about recognizing that families need us to understand how our roles connect.

🗓️ May 15–16, 2026

Yesterday we walked alongside to honor the beginning of Black Maternal Mental Health Week 🤍

Here in Georgia, it’s more than important—it’s essential—that we uplift, advocate, and bring awareness to the realities Black mothers face every day. Their voices, their experiences, and their well-being deserve to be centered and protected.

Black mamas matter. Today, this week, and always. 🖤✨
