Mayes: Recognizing the Contributions of Nurse-Midwives

Co-chair of the PA Black Maternal Health Caucus La'Tasha D. Mayes knows the crucial role nurse-midwives play in providing compassionate and competent care to women and infants during pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum. Allowing nurse-midwives to sign fetal death certificates acknowledges their contribution in the delivery process, particularly in cases of stillbirth where they may be the primary birth attendant. This streamlines reporting especially in home births or birthing centers without a physician present.
