Our mission is to expand access in Massachusetts to midwifery-led care across the lifespan, empowering individuals and families through collaboration, education, and advocacy. We support safe and satisfying midwifery care which research consistently shows leads to better outcomes.
Our vision is a state where everyone has access to skilled midwives who deliver compassionate, evidence-informed care that is free from bias, honors self-agency, promotes safety, and upholds respect and equity for all.
Our goal is to raise awareness among the public and Massachusetts' stakeholders about the need for expanded access to high-quality, evidence-based, and cost-effective midwifery care across all communities and birthing facilities in the state.
National Nurse-Midwifery Week was 10/5/25 to 10/11/25
The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) in celebrating National Nurse-Midwifery Week, each year honor the skilled midwives who provide compassionate, evidence-informed care to individuals and families across the country. Nurse-midwives play a vital role in supporting healthy pregnancies, empowering families, and advancing equitable access to care.
Join us in thanking and supporting midwives for the incredible work they do every day!
