✨Licensed Certified Professional Midwives✨ It's really happening! Massachusetts has now issued the first licenses to certified professional midwives. LCPMs will be able to enroll as MassHealth providers, staff birth centers, and attend home births in a more integrated system of care. We are so excited to celebrate this milestone, and to see access to midwifery care and birth options expand in Massachusetts. This victory belongs to all of us. Check the link in our bio to see the paper we published documenting our advocacy journey. WE'RE NOT DONE! There continues to be more to do to ensure that these changes are sustainable, equitable, and fair for midwives and the clients they care for.
