HAPPY SPRING! 💐🌸🍃PMC is excited to RE-launch our Spring Annual and WE NEED YOUR HELP to raise $100,000 by May 15th at givebutter.com/PhillyMidwives (direct link is also in the bio.)

As a private midwifery practice that relies almost exclusively on insurance reimbursement to make ends meet, we are both reliant on and grateful for the ability to bill insurance in order to remain financially accessible to clients. HOWEVER, insurance reimbursements are dismal at best and in order for us to avoid taking on more volume than we can handle and compromising our fabulous care, we are asking for YOUR HELP! Now through May 15th, donate to help fill these gaps and to help take the financial burden off of us so that we can focus on the families we love and care for. EVERY DOLLAR COUNTS and helps pay for everything insurance doesn’t, such as:

👼🏿on-call time: our midwives are on-call 24/7!
👼🏽office and clinical supplies
👼🏻travel time between two hospitals, our office and home visits
👼🏾administrative costs such as medical billing, scheduling and office management

and so much more.

🌻bottom line: running a midwifery practice is simultaneously rewarding and expensive and the services our midwives provide benefit everyone🌻

Help PMC continue to provide quality care by donating what you can! Click the link in our bio to donate and if giving isn’t an option for you, SHARE SHARE SHARE! Stay tuned in the coming month for more cute content, upcoming events to come see us in person AND more opportunities to help us reach our goal of $100,000 by May 15th🌈🦄🏳️‍🌈

Continuing on with our staff intro’s, another face you may recognize is our executive director and lactation consultant, Steph (also, hi, it’s me behind this metaphorical candelabra🖤) Stephanie Brown (they/them) is an IBCLC and reproductive health advocate. Born and raised in Los Angeles, they have made Philly their home since 2007 and have lived in Germantown since 2016. They are a staff lactation consultant at Jefferson Einstein Medical Center - Montgomery, facilitate two community-based infant feeding support groups, operate a private practice seeing clients in their homes prenatally and postpartum, and are the executive director for Philadelphia Midwife Collective after serving on the board since 2018. Their professional work experience includes over ten years as a nanny, full spectrum doula, and educator for Maternity Care Coalition and BADT. They center q***r and trans parents and have an inclusive practice that serves anyone and everyone. The work is home for them and they (try to) create that same safe space for clients. Steph offers evidence based, non-judgemental support and options through every feeding journey and choice. When not working, they can be found in the woods with their dog Peter or on the couch knitting next to their cat, Lawrence.

Today might be the last day of Black History Month, but we celebrate and educate year round. These photos were taken at DC’s Black History Museum, featuring Black midwives like Susie Carey, Amanda Carter, Mary Coley and Maude Callen. Amanda Carter was a fourth generation (!!!) midwife trained by her mother, Susie Carey (pictured up top.) They attended births together in rural Virginia and became licensed during a time when lay midwives began experiencing strict state and medical oversight. Hospitals were quickly becoming standard of care and operated under racist and biased establishment that often prevented Black midwives from continuing practice. In 1918, when the first regulatory laws were passed in Virginia, there were about 9,000 midwives. By 1980, there were about 100.

Maude Callen was a nurse midwife who spent over four decades practicing in Pineville, South Carolina, where she also established clinics and trained lay midwives. She navigated the academic and medical systems during a time when white people violently excluded Black providers from accessing these crucial spaces; so much has changed and so much has stayed the same.

Mary Coley was a Black lay Midwife practicing in Albany, Georgia. In addition to catching over 3000 babies during her career, she was featured in a documentary produced by the local health department, “All My Babies,” which visualized her work as important, intimate and necessary since babies are born everywhere under any circumstance. It also demonstrated collaborative care between midwives, doctors, nurses and the community.

We particularly love the gown, which belonged to and was worn by Amanda Carter, and the certificate of retirement (!) because what midwife do YOU know who ever actually retires? Once a midwife, always a midwife.

PMC honors these legacies, alongside all of the Black midwives who paved and continue to pave the way, despite historical and current medical racism. It shouldn’t be this way and we are committed to creating lasting, sustainable change from the ground up.

Some of you might recognize this familiar face, but we thought we’d formally introduce our new (to us, not to midwifery) Clinical Director and staff midwife! Autumn (she/her) grew up in Germantown, in NW Philly where Philadelphia Midwife Collective is based. She went to the University of Pittsburgh and later attended Penn for her Midwifery degree. Since 2013, she’s been practicing in and out-of-hospital birth, starting in Hawaii before moving to Lancaster, Lifecycle Wellness, and now PMC. She’s been on the PMC board since 2018 and now serves as the Clinical Director and staff midwife.
Autumn’s path to midwifery was shaped by her childhood as one of five siblings, with her mother’s beautiful, unmedicated births leaving a lasting impression on her. She always knew she wanted to work in healthcare, more specifically birth, and it wasn’t until she stumbled upon midwifery that she found her true calling. She was excited to learn that her Great Great Aunt was also a midwife in North Carolina!
Passionate about providing care to Black women and families in Philadelphia, Autumn is proud to be part of the PMC team and to serve her community in this meaningful way. Welcome, Autumn! 🖤🖤🖤
