2023 International Midwives' day

Dear MAWS members,

As we celebrate International Midwives Day, I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the amazing work you all do every day. Your dedication, compassion, and expertise make an incredible difference in the lives of families throughout Washington and beyond.

Midwifery is a calling, and you have answered it with grace and skill. You provide essential care and support to women during one of the most important times in their lives, guiding them through the miracle of childbirth and ensuring the health and safety of both mother and baby. Your commitment to evidence-based practices, holistic care, and respectful communication is truly inspiring.

Your work is even more remarkable given the challenging circumstances of the past year. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, you have continued to provide essential care to families, adapting quickly to new protocols and procedures to ensure everyone's safety. Your resilience and commitment have been nothing short of heroic.

As we honor International Midwives Day, please know that your work is valued and appreciated more than words can express. You make a profound difference in the lives of families throughout Washington, and we are grateful for all that you do. Thank you for your tireless dedication, your unwavering compassion, and your incredible expertise.

With deep respect and admiration,

Vy Mai
Executive Director
