This resolution is a confirmation document nominating Zoe Alexandra Levy Gutterman, a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM), to serve as the representative from the American College of Nurse-Midwives on the Maternal Mortality Review Committee for the District of Columbia. The nomination is to fill a vacant seat previously held by Evette Hernandez, with a term ending on January 10, 2028. Gutterman is currently the Midwifery Director at Unity HealthCare, where she manages six Certified Nurse Midwives across multiple clinic and hospital settings. She has extensive professional experience in midwifery, including providing obstetric care at Howard University Hospital, serving as adjunct faculty at Georgetown University, and holding leadership roles in the American College of Nurse-Midwives. The resolution includes her detailed professional background, highlighting her commitment to reproductive healthcare, advocacy for midwifery, and work to address racial inequities in healthcare. The nomination has been reviewed by the Office of the General Counsel to the Mayor and found to be legally unobjectionable, and Mayor Muriel Bowser is seeking the City Council's confirmation of Gutterman's appointment.
