What are we pushing for?
The Big Push for Midwives Campaign represents tens of thousands of people in the United States who support expanding access to Certified Professional Midwives and out-of-hospital maternity care. Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) provide affordable, quality, community-based care that is proven to reduce costly and preventable interventions as well as the rate of low-birth weight and premature births.
OUR MISSION
The mission of The Big Push for Midwives is to educate state and national policymakers, and the public, about the reduced costs and improved outcomes associated with out-of-hospital maternity care and to advocate for expanding access to the services of Certified Professional Midwives.
OUR VISION
The Big Push is envisioning a new model of maternity care in America built on expanding access to out-of-hospital maternity care and Certified Professional Midwives. The United States can no longer afford a system that produces inferior results at premium costs. America needs safer and less-costly maternity care now.
