SUMMARY:Midwifery Week 2026: The Power of Midwifery: A Policy Roadmap to Transform Maternal Health in the District of Columbia-Maryland-Virginia Region​
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Midwifery: Developing a Regional Policy Roadmap webinar presents how a convening of 73 midwives\, physicians\, policymakers\, and advocates across the DC-Maryland-Virginia region developed an actionable\, evidence-based policy roadmap for championing CNM\, CM and CPM led care. Drawing on stakeholder input and grounded in the principles of birth justice and lived experience\, the roadmap delivers state-specific priorities from reimbursement equity and hospital privileges to workforce pipeline and governance reform with phased implementation pathways and measurable milestones through 2029. Whether you are a clinician\, advocate\, educator\, or policymaker\, this session will equip you with an exemplar of a coordinated regional strategy to strengthen\, sustain\, and diversify the midwifery workforce and expand equitable access to high-quality maternity care in your region. \nThis session is pre-recorded and will be available at 9:00 am on October 8.\nLearning Objectives\n\nAt the conclusion of this session\, participants will be able to:\n \n\n\nDescribe the current policy landscape for midwifery workforce regulation\, reimbursement\, and governance across the District of Columbia\, Maryland\, and Virginia\, including jurisdiction-specific barriers to expanding access to midwifery care.\nIdentify at least three actionable\, evidence-based policy priorities from the tri-regional roadmap — spanning payment parity\, hospital privileges\, independent governance\, and workforce pipeline — and explain the rationale and implementation pathway for each.\nApply a coordinated advocacy framework to advance midwifery workforce policy in their own jurisdiction\, using the roadmap’s phased milestones and stakeholder engagement strategies to support short-\, mid-\, and long-term change through 2029.\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nAshley Gresh\, PhD\, MSN\, MA\, CNM\n \n  \nShaina French\, MSN\, CNM\, FACNM\, IF\n \nJamie Swietlikowski\, MS\, CNM\, PMHNP\, FACNM\n \nKatie Brescia\, BS\n \nNoelene K. Jeffers\, PhD\, CNM\, IBCLC
