About Us
Grow Midwives® formed to combine decades of experience to advance midwifery and expand practice settings. Two nationally renowned leaders of the midwifery profession, Ginger Breedlove, a past president of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, and Lesley Rathbun, a past president of the American Association of Birth Centers, knew a gap needed to be filled and formed their partnership in 2018. Ginger and Lesley also drew upon the legal and scholarly work of Joseph Booth, author of numerous book chapters, articles and white papers about US midwifery. And Grow Midwives® newest partner, Arden Schwenker, brings a depth of expertise to guide discussion on finance and compliance unique to midwifery-led care.
