Midwives celebrate birth stats Our growing community The OneWorld Midwife Team delivered more babies last year than in 2024, and team members were thrilled to welcome each tiny new person to the world! In 2025, there were 503 OneWorld midwife team labor admissions, up from 484 the year before. Among last year’s admissions, the midwife team delivered 88% of births and transferred 12% to the Creighton University obstetrics team. Including all teams – midwives, OB-GYNs and family medicine clinicians – OneWorld providers delivered 977 labor admissions. In total, 1,229 OneWorld patients delivered in 2025.
Strategic plan meets the moment For over 50 years, OneWorld has provided quality health care to people regardless of their financial, cultural or insurance status. A new strategic plan will guide OneWorld as we carry our mission forward for the next five years. The 2026-2030 plan aims to position OneWorld as “the region’s best primary health care organization dedicated to comprehensive Care for All People.” The plan includes four strategic objectives, each with its own tactics. The strategic plan was developed thanks to the input of OneWorld staff, board members and community organizations. A community health needs assessment, along with patient and demographic data, also helped OneWorld leaders shape future priorities. OneWorld envisions a bold future of quality care for our community.

In another auspicious start to the year, Associate Medical Director of Women’s Health Services Courtney Allen Cowardin, CNM, had the group’s first second-generation
