Thank you for your continued support of this project that is effectively increasing midwifery education access to the populations who are suffering the highest rates of maternal and newborn mortality and morbidity around childbirth in America - African American/Black and American Indian and Alaska Natives. We are delighted to share that another Claudia Booker Memorial Scholarship recipient has graduated from Mercy in Action College of Midwifery!
Meredith was a dedicated student while in our program, consistently suceeding academically and in her clinical apprenticeship. She demonstrated leadership capabilities in our program and in her work in her community. She was one of five students to join the Student Participation Volunteer Team, spending time reviewing different facets of our college and provide valuable feedback for continued excellence and improvements. Since graduating in May, Meredith has passed the NARM and is practicing as a CPM in her community.
The maternal crisis in the US for women of color continues and we are so grateful to be able to provide excellent and compassionate training in midwifery to those who will make a difference by providing competent, respectful care. Your donations make it possible to continue to offer the Claudia Booker Memorial Scholarship to students like Meredith who are working hard to become midwives and improve outcomes in their own communities.
