Advocacy Alert - Protect Midwifery Funding in FY 2027
As a member of the birth center community, your urgent action is essential.
Contact your Members of Congress TODAY and urge them to protect the midwifery set-aside in the final FY 2027 Labor, HHS Appropriations Bill. This funding is vital for sustaining and growing the midwifery workforce that so many communities rely on. Without it, accredited midwifery education programs—which prepare Certified Nurse-Midwives, Certified Midwives, and Certified Professional Midwives and expand access to midwifery-led care—are at risk.
Spread this urgent message to everyone who cares about maternal health and believes in expanding access to midwives, birth centers, and midwifery-led care.
There is no time to lose—urge Congress now to preserve the midwifery set-aside funding in the final FY 2027 appropriations bill. Every voice makes a difference.
