Information for lobbying to support increased access to Freestanding Birth centers
In collaboration with MAWS (Midwives Association of Washington State), I developed a series of 1-page handouts on free standing birth centers in WA state. These were used successfully in lobbying efforts and LMs achieved a tripling of Medicaid reimbursement for birth centers in 2018.
These handouts presented data on outcomes for mothers and babies under LM care in WA state and growth of freestanding birth centers.
Knowledge translation for Licensed Midwives (WA)
Produced and led several 1.5 hour webinars on midwifery outcomes in the state (2016, 2017, 2019)
Produced reports and infographics to communicate about outcomes
