Midwifery Learning Collaborative Celebrates Success with Case Studies and Highlights Video
Institute for Medicaid InnovationIn 2021, the Institute for Medicaid Innovation (IMI) launched the national Medicaid and Midwifery Learning Collaborative, an intensive, three-year initiative, led by IMI and funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Five state-based teams – Arizona, California, Kentucky, Michigan, and Washington – were selected from a competitive application process. Each team received technical assistance and guidance from IMI and a dedicated national advisory committee to develop sustainable initiatives to advance midwifery-led models of care for those enrolled in Medicaid. Each team consisted of leaders and innovators from four key groups: state Medicaid agencies, Medicaid health plans, community-based organizations, and provider groups, including midwives of all credentials.
