MEMORANDUM

Posted: October 8, 2013 01:03 PM
From: Representative Ronald G. Waters
To: All House members
Subject: Resolution Recognizing October 7-11, 2013 as Midwifery Week in Pennsylvania
 
In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution to recognize October 7 though 11, 2013 as Midwifery Week in Pennsylvania.

The national organization, the American College of Nurse-Midwives, headquartered in Silver Spring, MD, is the official organization for the nearly 12,000 certified nurse-midwives and certified midwives throughout the United States and the official sponsors of National Midwifery Week on a national level. This national event is an opportunity for women nationwide to gather for education and celebration of the health care service provided by midwives.

Midwives have been a vital and growing part of the advancement of women's health and are collectively responsible for hundreds of births in the state of Pennsylvania. National Midwifery Week acknowledges the important role midwives play in women's lives.

Thank you for your consideration in co-sponsoring this resolution.
