What AI says about Rhode Island Midwives

The Rhode Island Midwifery Initiative, led by the Urban Perinatal Education Center in partnership with the Rhode Island Department of Health, aims to expand Rhode Island's midwifery workforce and improve perinatal outcomes. It pursues perinatal equity through culturally congruent care, inclusive community engagement, and a diverse, skilled workforce across CNM, CM, and CPM/LM tracks, including a Certified Professional Midwifery (CPM) initiative. Supported by the HRSA State Maternal Health Innovation grant, the program outlines pathways for Rhode Island residents to join, and notes differences in practice settings: CNMs/CMs in hospital settings and CPM/LMs in community, home, or birth center settings.
