Why This Matters
Tulsa faces significant challenges in maternal health outcomes and provider access. The CNM Loan Forgiveness Program helps meet these needs by supporting nurse midwives to train and serve locally – easing financial strain while expanding care for birthing families.
Each nurse midwife added, strengthens Tulsa’s maternity care system and helps ensure more families receive safe, respectful, and high-quality care. Change happens here – one midwife, one birth, one family at a time.
