The Mission of the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) is to significantly increase women’s access to midwives by supporting the work and practice of Certified Professional Midwives.
As a professional organization, we are dedicated to maximizing the potential of the Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) credential, and the midwives who hold it, in order to increase the number of midwives available to adequately meet the needs of childbearing women. NACPM strives to ensure that CPMs will achieve their appropriate place in the delivery of maternity care in the United States. Click here to read the history of NACPM.
