It’s National Midwifery Week! 🩺💜 and Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has proclaimed October 5–11, 2025 as Midwifery Week in the state of Kansas.

This week, we’re recognizing the important role midwives play in women’s health, especially in communities with limited resources. Midwives help ensure safe pregnancies, healthy births, and better outcomes for moms and babies.

Here at the Miami County Health Department, we want to give a special shoutout to our Certified Nurse Midwife, Kelly, who volunteers her time to provide women’s health services to our community.

We truly appreciate everything she does and are so thankful for her dedication and the compassionate care she provides to the patients we serve.
