Nicole Cisneros Pegher, CPM, LM, President of the Massachusetts Chapter of NACPM, reflects on a historic moment for Massachusetts midwifery. At its heart, the speech is a reminder that licensure is not the destination. It is the beginning of a new chapter, one that requires midwives to protect the core values of their model while helping build systems that better serve birthing families across the Commonwealth. |
