As a CPM in Pennsylvania, I know that providing this access to legal CPM care for families in DC is needed to help keep birthing families safe and lessen the burden on the health care system.

CPMs are crucial at this time. Support their efforts and ensure that they can practice safely for themselves and the families they serve.

Please expedite this request. The services are needed to keep birthing families safe, and to relieve some of the hospitals burden while they focus on hospital related services and covid-19 needs.

Mayor Bowser, on behalf of the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives (NACPM) I urge you to implement The Certified Professional Midwife Act immediately to ensure that CPMs can deploy to help meet the growing and urgent needs of your city's childbearing residents during the crisis of this pandemic and beyond. We urge you to act and we thank you for your consideration.

More midwives are most assuredly needed during this crisis. Their prsence at DC births will free up other hospital personnel to assist Covid-19 patients.

This makes so much sense. Save precious area hospital resources for those who are actually ill.

I am a home birth midwife and have seen a significant influx of people seeking home birth. Access is so necessary right now.

Please be sure to consider that this is a great way to expand help. These people could help where doctors are needed, but not be available.

I’m a District resident (Ward 6) and home birth midwife with a private practice. I have been flooded with request for home birth from people birthing in the District.
