The Northern New Mexico Midwifery Center is a non-profit organization located in the small mountainous town of Taos, New Mexico. The three midwives (CPM’s, LM’s) and their apprentices service a community of many diverse cultures including Latinas, Native Americans and Anglos. The Northern NM Midwifery Center offers its services over a wide ranging area of Northern New Mexico & Southern Colorado, including Taos, Española, Santa Fe & Los Alamos.

 

NNMMC MotherThe practice is unique in the United States in that it is the only community in the United States where nearly 30% of all births occur naturally outside of the hospital. The concepts of self-care, client freedom of choice, and informed consent are the cornerstones of this practice.

 

The midwives are deeply committed to creating an environment where families can safely bring their babies into the world with love, respect and honor. We believe the Midwifery Model of Care is the optimal way to improve the health status of mothers and babies and thereby reduce infant and maternal morbidity and mortality. We want Northern New Mexico & Southern Colorado to be the safest place to be a woman!
