This section supports the recognition of Black Midwives Day and encourages the Federal Government and State and local governments to address racial disparities in maternal health outcomes by supporting initiatives to diversify the perinatal workforce and increase access to culturally congruent maternal health care. It commits to collaborating with stakeholders on policy solutions to promote health equity and address systemic racism in support of Black midwifery; calls for increased funding for education, training, and access to Black preceptors, removal of barriers to preceptors and accreditation across all training pathways, financial support and mentorship programs for students and preceptors, and authorization of autonomous practice for all midwives to the full extent of their training; promotes authorization or reauthorization of funding for TRICARE and Medicaid coverage of maternity care provided by midwives of all training pathways; encourages destigmatization and decriminalization of midwifery in the pregnant person's setting of choice; and recognizes the contributions of Black midwives to maternal and infant health in the United States.
