American College of Nurse Midwives
Washington Affiliate

Our Mission

With midwives. With Washington. With justice.

Our Vision

A just and healthy Washington where all people—especially those historically excluded from equitable care—have access to high-quality, culturally relevant, trauma-informed reproductive healthcare through the advancement and visibility of the midwifery profession by:
 

  • Promoting evidence-based, person-centered care that honors the dignity, autonomy, and diversity of birthing people, newborns, and families
     

  • Eliminating health disparities through active anti-racism, accountability, and systems change
     

  • Practicing cultural humility and amplifying the voices of Indigenous, Black, LGBTQIA2S+, immigrant, and rural communities
     

  • Acknowledging and confronting the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, white supremacy, and medical injustice in Washington’s healthcare system
     

  • Building and sustaining a midwifery workforce that reflects and responds to the communities it serves, including through mentorship, education, and policy advocacy
     

  • Fostering collaboration and solidarity with community partners, birthworkers, and other healthcare providers

ACNM Washington Affiliate is a state-based affiliate of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM), the national professional organization of certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives.
