Childbirth Connection Tribute to Susan Hodges

How delightful to see a nice tribute to CfM's Susan Hodges in the most recent issue of the Childbirth Connection eNews! This is a great e-newsletter overall and I suggest checking it out by scrolling down to the bottom of the Childbirth Connection homepage.

I am reprinting the tribute below.

A Tribute to Susan Hodges
Susan Hodges, co-founder of Citizens for Midwifery, has just stepped down after serving as the group’s president for 13 years.

We salute Susan for her many contributions to support the Midwives Model of Care, which includes:

• Monitoring the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the mother throughout the childbearing cycle
• Providing the mother with individualized education, counseling, and prenatal care, continuous hands-on assistance during labor and delivery, and postpartum support
• Minimizing technological interventions
• Identifying and referring women who require obstetrical attention.

Under Susan’s leadership, Citizens for Midwifery has supported such care by working collaboratively with like-minded organizations, maintaining a website, producing the Midwives Model of Care brochure, sending Grassroots Network email messages, publishing a newsletter, using social media, and many other means. We wish Susan and her family and Citizens for Midwifery well!
