Five FNU leaders were selected to participate in the recently completed three-year Midwifery Learning Collaborative (MLC). Funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the MLC consisted of five state-based teams from Arizona, California, Kentucky, Michigan, and Washington. 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.
