Support for the Licensure and Practice of CMs
 

Midwifery care has been shown to improve outcomes and the birth experience for moms and babies. It is far past time to enact these regulations as written and begin issuing licenses. Further delays would hurt moms and babies by limiting their options and putting pressure on an overburdened maternity care system. 

I support these regulations as written.
