We get a lot of patient love and are thrilled when Millie babies pop in for a visit! But some moments are just special, and this photo capture shows one of them. Meet our Aqueelah Tillman APRN, MSN, BS, CNM/WHNP-BC who decided to become a midwife after a long career as a NICU nurse. Why? Because she wanted to serve her community and create healthier pregnancies through access to more & better care. Aqueelah joined Millie as a student midwife, and our clinical team collectively invested time to provide the mentorship needed to complete her training. This matters because we know culturally congruent care improves health equity & outcomes — but less than 5% of US midwives are people of color. In short, we need more of them. We are so proud of Aqueelah and grateful that Millie can be part of the solution. #womenshealth #midwives #acog #acnm #maternalhealth #blackmaternalhealth #whitehouse
