———–

The deadline to include out-of-hospital maternity care in federal health care reform is just weeks away, so it’s urgent that we get our message to federal lawmakers ASAP!

Go to the links provided below and call or email your Senators and members of Congress today!

Help tell Congress about how access to out-of-hospital maternity care and Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs), who are specially trained to provide it, are a top priority in national health care reform!

Invite your elected officials and their staff to sponsor and attend the briefing at the Sewall-Belmont House at 144 Constitution Avenue, NE, between 8 and 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 21.

This is our first chance to show Congress and the media how much grassroots support there is out here in the states for including out-of-hospital maternity care and the services of CPMs in health care reform.

Download the issue briefing flyer for reference. Then call your congressional representative (look up you rep ) and your senators (find them here) and ask that they or a member of their staff attend this important issue briefing THIS THURSDAY. (If you have access to a fax machine, you can also fax the flyer to their office.)
