Dear Maternal Health Advocates,
It’s time to take action to ensure equitable and consistent recognition for all midwives in Virginia! HB1635/SB1352 is a critical "clean-up" bill that aligns the regulations for Licensed Certified Midwives (LCMs) with those for Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), reflecting their identical education, training, and board certification standards.
By supporting this bill, we can help expand care options for families, particularly in underserved areas, and strengthen maternal health equity statewide.
How You Can Help:
- Contact Your Legislators: Urge your Senator and Delegate to support HB1635/SB1352 and ensure that all midwives are equitably reimbursed.
- Share the Action Alert: Amplify the message by sharing www.midwife.org/Take-Action with your networks.
- Spread the Word: Use your voice on social media and in your communities to highlight the importance of this legislation.
Together, we can make a difference for maternal health in Virginia.
