Welcome, Friends!
The Idaho Midwifery Council was formed in the summer of 1980 and continues today to function as a voluntary professional organization, representing midwives across the State of Idaho. Our intent is to create and maintain a vital, collaborative perinatal health care system. The IMC is open not only to midwives, but also to all who have any interest in midwifery, whether midwife, apprentice, student, consumer and/or supporter of midwifery. As we network together, we endeavor to encourage each other and to uphold the highest and safest standard of maternity care.
