[Editor’s Note: Happy Birthday, Migrant Clinicians Network! To celebrate our 30th anniversary this month, we are highlighting one clinician each day who has been honored in 30 Clinicians Making a Difference [2], in which we profile the work of 30 diverse migrant clinicians from across the country and abroad.]
Tuesday was the annual International Day of the Midwife [3] -- but this year seems... different, because midwifery seems more prominent in media than ever. Just last month, the royal couple delivered their second baby with two midwives [3]. PBS’s critically-acclaimed Call the Midwife [4] is in its fourth season. And, studies continue to pile up [5] demonstrating that births with midwives have lower cesearian section rates, reduced use of analgesia during labor, and increased maternal satisfaction.
Megan Danielson, a certified nurse-midwife in Michigan, also made it to the news in the last month, for her honor as one clinician in 30 Clinicians Making a Difference. Her local newspaper [6] took notice of the honor, adding to the lengthy list of midwife-related media this month. Congratulations, Megan Danielson! Be sure to check out her complete profile, here [7].
Help us honor the work of Megan Danielson by sharing her profile. And, make sure to check out the profiles of all 30 clinicians at the 30 Clinicians Making a Difference webpage [8].
