The Voice of Midwives in New York State

We are a group of practicing licensed professional midwives from every part of the state of New York who came together to create an organization which would meet the needs of midwives practicing throughout the state, in every type of practice setting. We wanted to create an organization which could speak with one voice to legislators, to managed care organizations, and to other professionals, dealing with the issues which are unique to midwives practicing in this state, under our practice act. Get involved, and become part of this wonderful work.
