Welcome to the JUA’s Risk Management Resource Center
Whether you’re looking to strengthen your documentation, update practice materials, or better understand your responsibilities under Washington law, this section is here to help. These tools are designed specifically for licensed midwives and birth centers in Washington State and reflect the kinds of issues we most commonly see in claims.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Start with a one-on-one consultation or explore our growing library of resources.
