top10

1) Help families find you! All midwife members of MANA are eligible to be listed at Mothers Naturally “Find a Midwife.”

2) Continuing education. Being a member also means discounted access to the MANA conference, which provides continuing education focused specifically on home birth and birth center practices.

3) Keep up-to-date on the latest research and practice guidelines. Our website, blog, and social media sites provide up-to-the-minute news and research.

4) Find your midwifery community. At the conference, on our social media sites, and our emails, MANA connects you to the midwives and birth professionals in your community.

5) Track your outcomes. Your MANA membership supports the MANAstats project. If you become a MANAstats contributor, you’ll get data you can use to track and compare your practice’s outcomes to nationwide benchmarks.

6) Support groundbreaking home birth research. MANAstats data is available to researchers worldwide, a critical tool in understanding what home birth practices lead to positive outcomes for families.

7) Get the tools you need to run your practice. At the MANA conference, in our email blasts, and on our blog and website, you’ll learn about the latest research, meet the people with groundbreaking models for care, and connect with others who are solving the same challenges you are.

8) Support your profession. MANA provides key education and advocacy for preserving the art and science of midwifery, advocating for maternity care policy reform, supporting and unifying midwives, endorsing a woman-centered maternity care model and preserving normal birth practices. Without your membership support, none of this work is possible.

9) Educate families about the value of midwifery. MANA creates tools you can use to educate families about midwifery care, including the I am a Midwife series, blog content tailored to educating families, and other visuals and content. We encourage all MANA members to use our content on your websites, Facebook pages, and other promotional materials.

10) Get your midwifery gear. The MANA marketplace offers books, t-shirts, and bumper stickers you can use to show your pride in midwifery.

But most importantly . . . because you care about your profession!
