Minnesota Midwives of American College of Nurse Midwives

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the 10th annual Optimal Outcomes: Perinatal, Reproductive & Sexual Health conference. Our speakers did a fantastic job leading us in discussion about traditional Ojibwe midwifery and birth culture, how to avoid stigmatizing language in our documentation, best practices regarding management of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy and postpartum, experiences of perinatal loss among birthing people of color, and abortion healthcare updates.

Please remember to complete your evaluation survey to earn your CEUs.

And thank you to the student volunteers who helped make the day run more smoothly (Elyssa Mendez, Hamdi Hussein, Amanda Frykman, Niyauna Forsythe, Asia Roberts and Karees Lindstom).

Anyone is welcome to join this committee-please let us know if you are interested in being on the committee for next year.
