Midwives are primary health care providers to women throughout the lifespan. This means that midwives perform physical exams, prescribe medications including contraceptive methods, order laboratory tests as needed, provide prenatal care, gynecological care, labor and birth care, as well as health education and counseling to women of all ages.

Today is Maternal Health Awareness Day, and we were honored to stand up and show up alongside fellow midwives .nacpm.midwives , Healthy Mothers Healthy Babies , and members of our board, including Katherine Carr, who serves as Legislative Chair. Together, we advocated for maternal health, equity, and the vital role of midwifery in supporting healthy families and strong communities. We are grateful for the collective voices, dedication, and leadership pushing this work forward.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor Dr. King’s legacy by recommitting ourselves to justice, dignity, and equity in maternal health. As midwives in Georgia, we continue the work of advocating for safe, respectful, and culturally responsive care for all families, because health equity is a civil right.

Many hospitals across the country have offered planned vaginal breech birth programs for years. If you’re interested in learning more, Breech Without Borders provides incredible, data-driven training opportunities.
Their workshops allow you to practice hundreds of life-like breech births using a pelvis and a weighted baby with internal bone structure. You’ll practice dystocias and the maneuvers to resolve them alongside breech birth experts — and participants consistently say it truly feels like the real thing.
Even if you’re not planning to start a VBB program, it is critically important for all birth attendants to know how to safely attend a breech birth. The U.S. is one of the few developed countries that has largely de-trained providers in breech skills — and that matters for safety.
There is also an upcoming Breech Conference this year, which many Colorado midwives and OBs will be attending.

💙 Nursing deserves recognition. Nursing deserves support.
We’re joining national organizations like AACN, ANA, NLN, NONPF, and others in advocating for a federal regulatory change that would officially classify nursing as a professional degree.
Why this matters:
Graduate nursing students currently face lower federal loan limits than students in other professional fields. Reclassification would expand access to federal aid, allowing:
• 💵 Up to $50,000 in annual loan limits
• 💵 Up to $200,000 in lifetime caps
This change would align nursing with medicine, law, pharmacy, dentistry, psychology, and other fields already recognized at the professional degree level.
A shift like this strengthens our workforce, supports advanced practice education, and honors the expertise required to care for our communities.

Together, we can move nursing forward. 💪🏽💙
