BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Two Idaho midwives had their licenses permanently revoked and were fined a total of $14,500 after three babies died while under the care of their birthing center in Meridian.

In March, the Idaho State Board of Midwifery suspended the midwife licenses of The Baby Place owner Coleen Goodwin and her daughter, Jerusha Goodwin. On Monday, regulators barred the two from practicing for good after ruling their conduct was unprofessional and illegal.
