Integrating Midwifery
Mapping integration of midwives across the United States: Impact on access, equity, and outcomes
Poor coordination of care across providers and birth settings has been associated with adverse maternal-newborn outcomes. Research suggests that integration of midwives into regional health systems is a key determinant of optimal maternal-newborn outcomes, yet, to date, the characteristics of an integrated system have not been described, nor linked to health disparities.
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!
