Our History
The Grow Midwives, LLC® Story
Dr. Ginger Breedlove’s lifelong commitment to advancing maternity care. In 1979, she co-founded the Holistic Birth and Growth Center in Topeka, Kansas — one of the first, state-licensed freestanding birth centers in the nation. There, she practiced full-scope midwifery for 15 years alongside physicians and nurse-midwives, laying the foundation for a career dedicated to expanding access to safe, collaborative care.
Her passion for education and leadership soon led her to establish the first nurse-midwifery practice at Saint Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City, where she directed services and built trust between midwives and physicians. She went on to create the first graduate nurse-midwifery education program at the University of Kansas 10 years and later served as a tenured professor six years at Shenandoah University, influencing a generation of new midwives.
Beyond The Classroom and Clinic
Dr. Breedlove stepped into national leadership. She served as President of the American College of Nurse-Midwives 2013-2016 after serving two terms as ACNM Secretary, testified before the House Energy and Commerce Committee in Congress on the maternity care workforce shortage, and in 2017 co-founded March for Moms with Dr. Neel Shah, a nonprofit raising national awareness to improve care for childbearing families. Her voice has shaped not only practices but policies, bringing midwifery into conversations that transform maternal health at the highest levels.
