Applications for the Yukon Midwifery Program are now open

Whitehorse residents who are in their first 20 weeks of pregnancy can now apply for midwifery care.

The Yukon Midwifery Program provides Yukoners with an additional option for safe, integrated care during pregnancy, birth and postpartum, without having to pay out of pocket. Registered midwives are licensed, insured and fully integrated into Yukon’s health care system. They will work closely with other health providers to provide Yukoners with high quality care.

Yukoners can find information on how to apply at Yukon.ca/midwifery-program. The Yukon Midwifery Program will be in contact with anyone who applies and midwives will start seeing accepted clients in the clinic in early July.
