In Los Angeles, Debbie Allen — a licensed midwife and a Certified Professional Midwife — is serving a demographic that doesn’t represent your typical midwifery clientele: some are on Medicaid, or have no health insurance, and many are African-American or Latina. Allen believes these women, who may feel disenfranchised by hospital systems and traditional health care institutions, stand to gain the most from an intimate approach to maternity care.
