Eugene, Oregon Conference 2023 Updates
Midwifery Today Conference
Eugene, Oregon, USA • April 30 – May 3, 2023
“Healing Midwifery and Birth”
The first day has been updated.
Previous Schedule:
4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Neonatal Resuscitation with the Placental Circulation Intact – Gail Hart
Analyzing the various techniques used around the world brings the surprising conclusion that neonatal resuscitation methods are a cultural, not a scientific, norm. What works in one hospital unit is often different from that in a unit in the same city, and practitioners who work in both home and hospital know they often do things differently depending on the setting. Gail will present the concept of safe and effective physiological resuscitation methods that don’t require a high level of technology for implementation.
New schedule:
4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Healing Midwifery and Birth – Deb Puterbaugh, Marion Toepke McLean, and Jan Tritten
There is still time to heal midwifery and birth, but let us do it now. It is important for the future of motherbaby, families, and, indeed, all of society to have healthy birth. Birth is the foundation of all of life physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Come and brainstorm with all of us on how we can find ways to help. Then let us go home with ideas and determination regarding the part we will play.

Force of Nature a One Woman Play – Carole Groobman
Penny Simkin, says: “This engaging and educational performance uses storytelling, humor, and eloquent words to not only convey the wonder and power of childbirth, but also to introduce many questions about the medicalization of this normal body process and the culturally-based fear that underlies much of obstetrical care today.” We are having this back by popular demand.
