ABOUT NEW YORK CITY MIDWIVES
NYC Midwives is an affiliate organization of The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM). The chapter's executive board is elected by the membership every two years on a rotating basis. In the year 2000, the 8 New York State Chapter chairs formed a new organization called the New York State Association of Licensed Midwives (NYSALM) to assist with the ever changing political and legislative issues facing midwives in this era of managed health care.
New York City Midwives practices an ancient tradition in modern times. We proudly continue our long heritage of caring for women before, during, and after pregnancy.
