M.A.M.A Campaign

                                            

Midwives & Mothers in Action (M.A.M.A) Campaign, is a new national campaign to secure federal recognition of Certified Professional Midwives. The M.A.M.A. Campaign Steering Committee includes the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM), the Midwives Alliance of North America (MANA), the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM), the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC), Citizens for Midwifery (CfM) and the International Center for Traditional Childbearing (ICTC). 

The work of this campaign is to ensure that Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) are recognized as maternity care providers in the national health care reform bills that will be considered by Congress in the months ahead.  The goal is for CPMs to be covered by all insurance companies and medicaid so that women and families have a true choice about who their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care provider will be.  

If you are interested in supporting the efforts of the M.A.M.A campaign, donations can be made HERE.  All donations will go directly to help lobby for this very important cause.
