ACNM actively works with these federal agencies to improve their understanding of midwifery services and the enforcement of existing laws. On December 5, 2008, the ACNM Board of Directors adopted an aggressive federal policy agenda.  Click here to read the press release or click on the links below to read more about ACNM's work on these issues.
