DCCA Midwives Advisory Committee Meetings

DCCA Midwives Advisory Committee Meetings

The DCCA Midwives Program is under the authority of the Director of the DCCA, and has two Executive Officers to carry out the administrative duties for the program. There is no Board of Midwifery. According to HRS 457J, the Director has the power to appoint an advisory committee to assist with the implementation of the chapter and the rules. The Director elected to convene a midwife advisory committee, with representation of midwives from Kauai, Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii Island, along with members of the public.
