Field notes
Care is described in homes, New Mexico Department of Health offices, and community spaces such as churches and community centers. The program also recruits women from the service area, supports them through licensure, then says licensed midwives carry cases and train the next cohort. Its third strand equips faith communities to run maternal mental-health learning and support groups during the childbearing year.
