Description

The AL Birth Equity Steering Committee is hosting the Alabama Black Midwives Conference: Our Past, Our Present, Our Future, Our Truth. This conference will bring together practitioners, professionals, politicians, and health system leaders from across the state of Alabama, the southern United States, and nationally, to celebrate the passage of a law that established the regulation of licensed midwives in Alabama in 2018 called HB 315. This is the first step in increasing access to the midwifery model of maternal and infant care, and to increasing the number of Black midwives in Alabama. We welcome community members, midwives, nurses, physicians, public health professionals, community health workers, lactation consultants, doulas, birth workers, educators, credentialing organizations, funders, policymakers, and students representing Alabama and the southern United States to gather for this event.
