About Us
Serving the Community since 1977
New Mexico has a rich history of community midwifery. Midwives have always been an integral part of New Mexico’s health care system. The New Mexico Midwives Association (NMMA) incorporated in 1977 to insure women’s access to safe and personalized care throughout all the cycles of their lives. The NMMA has worked consistently to enable licensed midwives to attend the births of thousands of New Mexican babies with excellent outcomes.
What do we do?
- Work cooperatively with midwives throughout the state of New Mexico to establish a strong network for upholding the midwifery model of care.
- Develop and carry out continuing educational forums to promote excellence in midwifery.
- Promote the training of professional midwives and birth attendants.
- Work with citizens groups to advocate for midwifery care.
- Advocate for access to midwifery care through the legislative process.
- Educate the public on the safety and importance of midwifery care and out-of-hospital birth.
