Currently regulated alongside doctors under one board, midwives are pushing for autonomy to better set standards and address a critical shortage. With eleven other states already adopting separate boards, this reform aims to boost the midwifery workforce and tackle New Jersey’s alarming maternal mortality rates — especially for Black and Hispanic women. While critics question whether the bill directly solves workforce gaps or improves safety — since most births occur in hospitals — supporters argue it’s a vital step toward equitable, patient-centered care. The bill’s next steps could reshape how New Jersey delivers maternal health services. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
