WHO WE ARE
Our mission & vision
We envision a future where every birthing family has access to midwifery care that is fully integrated into the healthcare system — where midwives are recognized, supported, and able to practice safely and collaboratively across all birth settings, with consistent standards, mutual respect, and seamless coordination throughout the continuum of care.
We work closely with communities, midwives, healthcare professionals, and maternal health advocates to advance midwifery services, strengthen the midwifery workforce, and promote safe, respectful, integrated maternity care across all settings. We work to create a culture of excellence, safety and equity in perinatal care in Oklahoma.
