The future begins with the way we are born.
The National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) is the membership organization representing Certified Professional Midwives (CPM) in the United States. Certified Professional Midwives provide unique and critical access to normal physiologic birth, profoundly benefitting childbearing people and their newborns. Founded in 2000, NACPM ensures a powerful, collective voice for Certified Professional Midwives. NACPM directs its influence toward improving outcomes for all childbearing people and their infants, investing in a strong racially, ethnically, and socially representative CPM workforce, and helping to drive urgently needed changes in the systems that care for birthing people in the U.S. today.
This May, NACPM made history. Our first-ever virtual conference, “Centering Midwives, Restoring Care,” brought together midwives, students, birth workers, funders, advocates, and allies from across the country for two transformative days of learning, connection, and community. We started with a goal that transformed into a vision and ended in an event that we will not soon forget!
