Thirty years of global outreach by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.

The mission of the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) is to promote the health and well-being of women and newborns within their families and communities through development and support of the profession of midwifery. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 are to reduce infant and child mortality and improve maternal health through universal access to reproductive and reduction of maternal mortality. Significant, multilevel efforts are needed to achieve these goals.
