Join us in a groundbreaking initiative! The Urban Perinatal Education Center (UPEC) is partnering with the Rhode Island Department of Health to launch the Certified Professional Midwifery (CPM) Initiative. This community-based midwifery program aims to improve perinatal outcomes in Rhode Island by promoting culturally competent care and attracting a diverse midwifery workforce. With a focus on equity, this initiative addresses disparities in maternal health outcomes for Black and BIPOC communities. We invite you to support and engage in this vital work for lasting change in maternal health.
