Joining the Long Island Midwives, Inc. is important to all midwives in our area as well as the individuals and families we serve. Your membership in L.I. Midwives, Inc. will help promote midwifery in our communities. The mission is to promote and improve access to midwifery care in all our communities, as well as improve communications among licensed professional midwives.

  • There are over 1000 practicing licensed professional midwives and student midwives in New York State. In 1999, over 29,000 births were attended by New York’s licensed professional midwives, accounting for over 10% of the births in the state that year. Ten years earlier, in 1989, only 4% of births were conducted by licensed midwives! As our numbers grow, we can have significant influence on our practice, and the health and well-being of the women and families of this area.
