Urgent Call to Action
Are we maximizing the power and potential of midwives to improve health in Michigan?
We are urging legislators, advocates, and policymakers towards the advancement of midwifery care by supporting the recently introduced Birth Center Bill (House Bill 5636), and the Michigan Momnibus Bill Package (SBs 818-827). We have a critical opportunity to drive meaningful change. Your assistance is vital to ensure our collective voices resonate and bring about the passing of these bills.
Together, we can urge our Michigan legislators to support:
- Equitably reimbursing all credentialed midwives in all settings, including birth centers and home births
- Licensing birth centers
- Updating doula Medicaid policy to include birth center and home birth services
