Compassionate, Personalized Support for Your Pregnancy and Birth Journey in Alberta
A Message to Clients: Please Re-Apply for Midwifery Care
With sincere regret, we want to let you know that an unexpected system issue has led to the permanent loss of client applications submitted through the Alberta Association of Midwives (AAM) online portal between February 1 and July 7, 2025.
We understand how unsettling and inconvenient this may be, and we are truly sorry. The loss did not result from a security breach or unauthorized access. The issue occurred during regular system operations managed by a trusted external contractor. Despite every effort to recover the data, it could not be restored. To move forward, we have restored the system using a backup from January 31, 2025, and we’re implementing stronger protections to prevent this from happening again.
What You Can Do:
If you submitted a request for midwifery care between February 1 and July 7, please re-submit your application.
We understand the extra effort this requires and are here to support you.
Apply for Care here and for more assistance please reach out to clientcare@alberta-midwives.ca
We are incredibly grateful for your understanding and continued trust in Alberta midwives. Your care and wellbeing remain at the heart of everything we do.
What is a Midwife?
Honouring your body, your birth, your choices
Registered midwives are health care professionals who provide expert primary care to you and your baby during pregnancy, labour, birth and 6-weeks postpartum.
The Canadian midwifery model of care is based on four core principles: continuity of care, informed choice, evidence-based practice and choice of birth setting.
