Massachusetts Midwives Alliance

Milford, Massachusetts

Cause Description:
The Massachusetts Midwives Alliance (MMA) is a professional trade organization created by and for a dynamic and diverse group of midwives. The MMA was founded to build cooperation among midwives, and to promote midwifery as a means of improving heath care for women and their families. We promote practicing the Midwives Model of Care based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes. This means we not only practice the Art of Midwifery, but also put strong emphasis on evidence-based medical practice, the safest form of care in Obstetrics today. We represent Certified Professional Midwives, Traditional/Direct-Entry Midwives and Certified Nurse Midwives who practice in hospital, home, and birth center environments. The MMA also includes representatives of the birth community such as consumers and educators. These members are involved not only in the activities that promote respectful and safe practices, but also serve as board members, contributing to our membership goals.
