NYSALM Lobby Day 2013:  a lot of fun!

On Tuesday, April 23rd, over 50 midwives, midwifery students & their supporters from around the state met in Albany, NY to meet with our legislators. It was an exciting day and we received a lot of encouragement from our representatives about legislation we would like to introduce to update the way birth centers are regulated in New York State.

National Birth Center II Study Released!

As health care costs and the rate of cesarean births for expecting mothers have escalated over the past two decades in the United States, a new study shows that women who receive care at midwife-led birth centers incur lower medical costs and are less likely to have cesarean births compared to women who give birth at hospitals.
