Expands Michigan's essential health provider recruitment strategy to include midwives.

The bill amends Michigan's essential health provider recruitment strategy to include midwives. It defines terms such as "certified nurse midwife," "midwife," and "midwifery program." The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services can repay debts or expenses for midwives who practice in health resource shortage areas. The bill also allows the department to cooperate with certified nurse midwifery services and associations representing midwives.
