#012: Birthing Equity: The Role of Certified Professional Midwives in NC
In this episode, we return to the crucial topic of maternal health, focusing on North Carolina and the disparities in outcomes driven by limited perinatal healthcare access, eroded trust in providers, and systemic undervaluation of women's voices.
Our spotlight is on Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) and the imperative to expand access to these professionals as an integral component in addressing healthcare disparities. Historic regulatory barriers pose a challenge to this goal.
Join Liz as she speaks with Nicole Havelka, a Certified Professional Midwife and advocate, as they discuss the pivotal role of CPMs and her documentary project, "A Midwife Solution," highlighting the indispensable contribution to patient-centered care of certified midwives in North Carolina.
