The Think Big Initiative is launching Community Conversations, a series of online listening sessions across all five domains of our work. The first session on June 10th focuses on one of the most foundational challenges in community midwifery: Data Collection and Research.
Perinatal data infrastructure in the U.S. wasn’t built with midwifery in mind or to support community birth. Vital records systems, electronic health records, and large administrative datasets all carry significant gaps. Researchers, midwives, and data collectors working on the ground every day know this better than anyone, and your knowledge is exactly what we need. We want to hear from you about the data gaps you encounter, the questions that aren’t being asked, the outcomes that matter, and the systems that would actually work in practice.
Drop into this community conversation to learn, ask questions, and share your perspective. No advance preparation required, no ongoing commitment. Come as you are. Registration required @ https://qmnc.org/events/272134 Can’t make it to the live event? A written input form will be shared alongside this event. You can also share your perspective with us at any time here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf1IueE36Xze7xV1HUaPPhUU6rZpN0DiPgGLWazl7LJIIN5jw/viewform

ChristianaCare has announced the closure of the Family Birth Center at Union Hospital in Cecil County effective June 30, 2026 — eliminating the only hospital-based labor and delivery services in the county. Families will be redirected to either Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware, approximately 13 miles away, or UM Upper Chesapeake in Harford County, approximately 40 miles away. This raises significant concerns about access to maternity care, particularly for Medicaid-covered patients who may face coverage questions at out-of-state facilities.

UPCOMING PUBLIC HEARING

Date: Wednesday, June 11, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM
Location: Comfort Inn & Suites, 1 Center Dr., North East, MD 21901

Under Maryland regulation (COMAR 10.24.01.03C and .04D), a public informational hearing is required before this closure can proceed. Testimony and written statements become part of an official record shared with the Governor, the Maryland Secretary of Health, the Maryland Health Care Commission, local government, and members of the General Assembly. This is a meaningful opportunity for our profession to speak to the maternal health implications of losing a rural delivery unit.

We are reaching out to share an opportunity to participate in a research study about postpartum dyadic care led by midwives and researchers, Noelene K. Jeffers and Ashley Gresh, at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing. The research team would like to better understand how dyadic postpartum care is developed and implemented in healthcare settings, and to learn about the challenges and opportunities that shape this model of care. Dyadic postpartum care is a model in which the birthing parent and their infant receive care together in the same visit, allowing providers to address the health needs of both. This study will collect information from healthcare providers and staff, patients, and their partners regarding their experiences with dyadic postpartum care. Through this research, the study team hopes to improve postpartum care in the United States. 

If you are a healthcare provider or healthcare staff who has experience in the implementation of a postpartum dyadic care model in the last three years, we want to hear from you! To participate, you must be at least 18 years of age; read, speak, or write in English; work in the United States; and have access to a working email or phone. 

We are asking you to complete a 20-minute survey. We are offering a $15 gift card to anyone who completes the survey. 

To access the survey, simply click [https://jh.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8eS]. You may also use the attached flyer, which includes a QR code.

Please feel free to share this email and the attached flyer with other healthcare providers or staff who might be interested.  The only thing we ask is that you not share it on social media so that we can prevent the bots/scammers from trying to take it!

Please feel free to reach out to the Principal Investigator, Noelene Jeffers ([email protected]), with any questions.
