As your constituent, I want to share my strong support for key maternal health legislation, S.784/H.5016, “An Act promoting and enhancing the sustainability of birth centers and the midwifery workforce," filed by Senator Joan Lovely, Representative Manny Cruz, and Representative Lindsay Sabadosa.
The midwifery model of care is essential for solving our maternal health crisis. Massachusetts has begun to make strides in expanding access to midwives and to freestanding birth centers offering midwifery care, but sustainability is essential. Our community deserves no less. Bill S.784/H.5016 will save lives.
Please support this critical maternal health bill and urge the Health Care Financing Committee Chair to give S.784/H.5016 a favorable report.
