Midwives are stepping in where systems have stepped away. In West Virginia, the New York Times highlights how community based midwifery care is expanding access in places facing hospital closures and maternity care deserts.
At NACPM, this work is about more than geography. It’s about birth justice, dignity, and evidence based care that meets families where they are. Certified Professional Midwives provide relationship centered support across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, especially in communities that have been historically underserved.
This is what systemic change can look like when care is rooted in community, trust, and equity. NACPM is proud to advocate for CPMs and community centered birth care that expands access, protects choice, and strengthens the future of midwifery.
