Midwifery in Newfoundland and Labrador is continuing to progress. Currently there are two full-time midwives and one part-time midwife in the Central Health zone.
There is an implementation coordinator currently at work in Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Labrador and one in Carbonear, Newfoundland working towards establishing programs in those areas.
Our Provincial Chief Midwife continues to work towards provincial midwifery expansion.
Advocacy is always needed and welcome. Please contact your MHA or the Minister of Health to express your desire to have midwifery in your area. You can find resources for contact on Advocacy page.
We appreciate the ongoing support!
