BONUS: Maternity Care in Rural America

In this special Bonus episode of the Forgotten America podcast, Amanda Kieffer, Communications Director for the Cardinal Institute for West Virginia hosts an episode focused on maternity care access in rural America and the role midwives play in caring for women.  Our guest this week is Beth Redden, a Certified Nurse Midwife from Southern West Virginia and fellow of the American College of Nurse Midwives. Amanda and Beth discuss who midwives are, what they do, and the regulations that impact maternity care, especially in rural America. Amanda also shares a few tidbits from her personal experience as a new mother who received midwifery care.  If you or someone you love is a mother, we hope you'll listen to this episode and share it so that we can raise awareness of the regulatory burdens that are preventing women in America from receiving the quality care they need and deserve. Thanks for your support, and we hope you enjoy this special episode of Forgotten America!  ----------Guest Host & Executive Producer Amanda Kieffer Communications Director - @akieffer13 Cardinal Institute for West Virginia Policy  Produced & Edited by Tony Reed Associate Director of Operations - @treed1134 International Center for Law & Economics  Follow: YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram  Support: Patreon, Donate, Newsletter
