NEW YORK CITY MIDWIVES

NYC Midwives is an affiliate organization of the New York State Association of Licensed Midwives (NYSALM), the ACNM (American College of Nurse-Midwives) state affiliate. The chapter's executive board is elected by the membership every two years on a rotating basis. In 2000, the 8 New York State Chapter chairs formed NYSALM to assist with the ever changing political and legislative issues facing midwives in this era of managed health care. In 2010, NYSALM began the process of becoming the New York State affiliate of the American College of Nurse Midwives.

New York City Midwives practice an ancient tradition in modern times. The role of midwives has expanded over time to now include not only care of the reproductive age woman but also of women throughout their lives.
