The State of Midwifery In California.
In this webinar we will cover some what midwives do, scope of practice, how California compares to other states and countries, and – importantly – how midwives can and should be a key strategy for the double crisis of poor access and disparate outcomes. The intent of this first webinar is to create a foundational understanding of midwifery in order to set the stage for upcoming webinars.
CA efforts to improve access to midwife-led care in Medi-Cal & the crisis of birth center closures
In this presentation, attendees will learn about (1) the triple threat in maternity care and reproductive health care and why access to midwives is a key strategy; (2) learn about the closure of many freestanding birth centers around the state and why this is happening; (3) learn about the work of Midwifery Access California and the tangible strategies advocated by this coalition to stem the tide of closures and improve access to midwifery care, especially in Medi-Cal.
