The Center for Midwifery (CFM) is in the process of expanding into Northern Colorado, opening a new location in Longmont in August 2017. Jessica Anderson, MSN, CNM, WHNP-BC, Senior Instructor, Center for Midwifery Director, says this is part of a longstanding goal to replicate the CFM and Anschutz Medical Campus model of "evidence-based care, alternative labor/birth options, family centered care, strong community partnerships, and solid collaboration with nursing and other provider groups" in other locations.

If students on the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus found themselves ill before Sept. 15, 2015, they would have had to use the emergency room or find a provider on their own.
