This Midwifery Week, we’re celebrating April Clyde, Amanda Osei, Quinncie Bosket, Destine Bigelow, Lorraine Garcia, Alexyis Bonilla, and Ashley Towns—and the vital work of midwives everywhere.
The United States continues to face serious challenges in maternal and newborn health. Midwives are an essential part of the solution. By providing skilled, evidence-based, relationship-centered care throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the newborn period, midwives help families feel heard, informed, respected, and safe.
Expanding access to midwifery care can help improve maternal and neonatal outcomes, reduce unnecessary interventions, strengthen continuity of care, and address disparities—especially in communities that have historically been underserved.
This week, we honor the knowledge, compassion, and steady presence midwives bring to every birth space. Investing in midwives means investing in healthier parents, healthier babies, and stronger communities. 🤍
