Matthew Medina is a midwife and labor nurse at Brigham & Women’s Hospital and practices as a per-diem laborist midwife at Boston Medical Center (New England’s largest safety-net hospital). He’s been an RN since 2010 and landed a dream job in L&D in 2011; he’s certified in inpatient OB and electronic fetal monitoring. Matt holds a special place in his heart for the night shift and only works after 7pm. The most memorable births happen after the sun goes down!

Matt has been an AWHONN member since becoming a new L&D RN. He became involved with the AWHONN MA section in 2012 and most recently completed his term as section chair. In 2025, he’ll serve on the AWHONN Board of Directors.

Matt has embraced being a national volunteer leader and was selected as an Emerging Leader in 2017. He found a new passion for Every Woman Every Baby (EWEB) while serving on Development Committee for several terms. He describes his tenure on the Development Committee as rewarding because he enjoyed the responsibility of helping to disperse the funds raised with EWEB back to AWHONN members. Matt has also served on the Convention Planning Committee, Nominating Committee, and the Ethics & Compliance Committee. In 2023, Matt was proud and honored to have been inducted into the inaugural group of AWHONN Fellows.
