Management Consulting - Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States
The Midwives Society of Oklahoma is a community of midwives, birth professionals, and families who are united by a common passion for the health and well-being of mothers and babies.Our Mission is to improve maternal and neonatal wellness by increasing access to midwives and and natural wellness providers, supplying public education about natural birth and wellness options, and providing professional education for midwives and allied birth workers.Our Vision is that midwifery will be recognized as the standard of care for all healthy women during the childbearing year, and women will be respected as full, empowered participants in their pregnancies .Our Goals are to advance the quality and accessibility of midwifery in Oklahoma, to monitor legislation ensure that the needs of consumers and midwives are communicated and met, and to facilitate collaboration between midwives, doctors, and other healthcare providers in pursuit of a safer and more cohesive experience for birthing families.Our Philosophy is that the practice of midwifery is distinct from the practice of medicine. Midwifery is a discipline pertaining to a normal cycle of life, the childbearing years. We base our profession on the fundamental tenets of the midwifery model of care:- That pregnancy and birth are a fundamentally healthy process.- That each woman is unique and her care should be tailored to meet her individual needs.- That attending to the emotional and spiritual components of childbearing are as important as appropriate antepartum, intrapartum and postpartum physical care.- That midwives should be trained by other midwives.- That midwives should maintain a professional attitude and practice which promotes congenial relationships between physicians, midwives and students.- That the relationship between midwives and their clients are collaborative in nature.
