NVRH midwife impacts health outcomes globally
The North Star Monthly
Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital (NVRH) Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) Jade Kaplan, who has recently returned from the Mediterranean, where she worked with refugees, has been inducted as a Fellow in the American College of Nurse Midwives (ACNM).
The ACNM states that, “The Fellowship in the American College of Nurse-Midwives (FACNM) is an honor bestowed upon those midwives whose demonstrated leadership within ACNM, clinical excellence, outstanding scholarship, and professional achievement have merited special recognition both within and outside of the midwifery profession.”
Kaplan was the first midwife to work at a hospital in rural NC that cared for Appalachian and First Nation families. She also serves on the VT Maternal Mortality Review Panel, VT Midwifery Advisory Committee, and the NNEPQIN Steering Committee. She has also done international work at a birth center in Nairobi, Kenya.
