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.
As we enter the final quarter of 2024, NACPM reflects on the progress we’ve made and the bold steps ahead as we plan for 2025. We are called to move forward with intention, shedding the weight of scarcity, inadequacy, and imposter syndrome. Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) are at a critical juncture.
