Midwife of the Week: Nancy Jo Reedy, CNM, MPH, FACNM

This week we honor the life and legacy of Nancy Jo Reedy, CNM, MPH, FACNM.

Nancy devoted her life to advancing midwifery through clinical care, education, mentorship, leadership, and service. From her early days leading maternity services in Texas to educating future generations of midwives, she was known for her professionalism, compassion, and commitment to excellence.

Nancy was passionate about supporting new graduates, strengthening maternity care services, and helping others discover their own calling to midwifery. She remained active in professional organizations throughout her career and was recognized by colleagues for her integrity, generosity, and dedication to families and communities.

Many midwives practicing today were inspired by Nancy's guidance, mentorship, and example.

Join us as we celebrate her extraordinary contributions to midwifery and honor a life dedicated to serving others.

💜Thank you, Nancy, for the legacy you leave behind.

Midwife of the Week: Carol Anne Bues, DNP

This week, we honor the life and legacy of Carol Anne Bues, DNP, a dedicated midwife, educator, advocate, and champion for families throughout New York City.

Carol's path to midwifery began after volunteering at Harlem Hospital, where caring for vulnerable mothers and newborns inspired her lifelong commitment to compassionate, person-centered care. She went on to earn degrees from Hunter College, SUNY Downstate, and SUNY Stony Brook, becoming both a respected clinician and educator.

As a practicing midwife, Carol delivered hundreds of babies in their family homes across New York City, helping families experience birth with dignity, trust, and support. She also shared her knowledge with future generations of nurses and midwives as a lecturer at Lehman College and adjunct faculty member at CUNY Hunter Bellevue School of Nursing.

Her legacy lives on through the countless lives she touched, the students she mentored, and the families she served.

Join us in celebrating and remembering Carol Anne Bues and her remarkable contributions to midwifery. 💙
