Midwives for MOMS Act of 2025
Midwifery Education: Expanding Maternity Care
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for review. It is actively moving forward as it waits for the committee to discuss and vote on the proposal. There are no upcoming public hearings or votes scheduled at this time.
Legislative Progress
The bill has bipartisan support and addresses a popular issue like maternal health, but it is a new proposal that must compete with many other healthcare priorities.
Key Points
- This bill aims to fix the shortage of maternity care in the United States. It would provide $35 million in grants to schools that train midwives and nurse-midwives between 2026 and 2030.
- The money would help schools start new programs or grow existing ones. It also provides direct financial support for students and helps pay for the clinical teachers who train them in the field.
- The government would give priority to schools that focus on students from rural or poor areas. It also favors students who promise to work in places that currently do not have enough healthcare providers for pregnant women.
- Half of the grant money must go directly to supporting students. The rest is split between building up the schools and training the experienced midwives who supervise students during their hands-on practice.
