About the Event
Hello Arizona Midwives!
This is an invitation to please join an emergency midwifery meeting for LMs, CPMs, and CNMs in Arizona to discuss recent events that have implications for our scopes of practice.
The issue: Midwifery oversight in AZ is conducted by the AZ Department of Health (ADHS) and Board of Nursing (BON); however, there are currently NO MIDWIVES on either of these regulatory bodies. Recent events have highlighted the significant issues that can arise with a lack of midwifery expertise regulating midwives. Most recently, the BON is stating INCORRECT information regarding the midwifery scope of practice. We need to meet and organize ASAP to be prepared to tackle these and other issues to protect the scope of all midwives in AZ.
Please join us on JUNE 8th at 3pm @ Valley Unitarian Universalist Church
6400 W. Del Rio St, Chandler AZ 85226
In person attendance strongly encouraged and preferred but a ZOOM link will be provided upon request to those out of town or otherwise unable to attend in person.
Please RSVP stat!
PS. Please do not share on social media and this event is limited to current AZ CNMs and CPM/LMs only. If you are precepting a senior student who would like to come feel free to bring them along.
