On Tuesday, May 5th, on International Day of the Midwife 2026, the Alberta Association of Midwives was proud to join midwives, partners, and policymakers at the Alberta Legislature for an important day of advocacy, engagement, and meaningful conversations about the future of midwifery care in Alberta.

We were opportunity to connect with MLAs from across the province and discuss the vital role midwives play within Alberta’s healthcare system. Conversations focused on improving access to care, supporting informed choice for families, strengthening maternal and newborn health services, and ensuring sustainable support for the midwifery profession across both urban and rural communities.

Midwives provide compassionate, evidence-based, person-centred care throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn care. Their work not only improves health outcomes and patient experiences, but also helps strengthen and relieve pressure on the broader healthcare system.

International Day of the Midwife is an opportunity to recognize the dedication, expertise, and impact of midwives across Alberta and around the world. It is also a reminder of the importance of continued collaboration between healthcare professionals, government leaders, educators, and communities to ensure equitable access to high-quality maternity care for all families.

Thank you to all of the midwives, client advocates, healthcare partners, and elected officials who took the time to engage in these important discussions today. Your support, voices, and advocacy continue to move the profession forward and help build a stronger future for maternal and newborn care in Alberta.

Together, we continue working toward a healthcare system where every family has access to safe, respectful, and accessible midwifery care.

The International Day of the Midwife (IDM) 2026 theme, “One Million More Midwives,” highlights a global call to address critical midwifery workforce shortages. Evidence shows that investing in well-educated, regulated, and supported midwives improves outcomes for women, newborns, and newborns while strengthening health systems. For AAM, this reinforces the importance of advocacy for sustainable workforce planning and full scope of practice to ensure better care across Alberta and beyond.

Midwives don’t just provide care; they coordinate it.

From public health and mental health supports to lactation consultants and hospital teams, midwives ensure families receive seamless, wraparound care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

This is integrated healthcare in action.

When we support midwifery, we support a stronger, more connected system.

Midwives are an essential part of Alberta’s healthcare network.

They provide evidence-based, regulated care while working in partnership with public health, mental health, and hospital services to support families holistically.

This reduces pressure on emergency services and improves access to care.
