National Midwifery Week was created by ACNM to celebrate and recognize midwives and midwife-led care. It’s time to display your pride in the hallmarks of midwifery that you deliver every day; this week is for you and about you. Each day of National Midwifery Week features opportunities for education and connection, and ACNM Members can attend every event this week for FREE to receive CEs. Embrace the spirit of the week, and share your vision for the future of midwifery on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Every action from every individual builds our celebration and helps to raise awareness about the important role midwives play in shaping our future. Let us know how you’ll be participating! If you need help or have any questions, please contact [email protected]
