Bridging the Divide between the Public and the Practitioners

I am so grateful to be able to cyber-sit with women and birth advocates around the world at all hours.  The birth wisdom we share is in turn shared with the women in our own communities.  We encourage each other to continue to speak up and tell what we know.  

It is this woman powered effort that provided the support and incentive to prepare a report on the state of maternal and newborn outcomes in America, Home Birth: The Gold Standard for Cesarean Prevention.  This report is available globally as a part of a documents resource library.  In addition, we prepared an outreach document for distribution to our government who is currently keen on health care reform.   Great health care begins with meeting the UN Millennium Project Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health.  A global issue is your local issue.  It’s a small world.

Please download then distribute either or both of the above documents to your legislators.  We believe they are willing to listen but the medical lobbyists’ attempts to drown us out are often more successful.
