Join with us to grow a world of Beloved Birth…
…where all people birth safely with dignity and love…
…with birth care that is family centered, midwife-led, and respects all people.
Birth centers are the only healthcare facilities designed to center the midwifery model of care.
Birth care provided by midwives is the solution to a failing birth care system. Research shows that midwifery care improves birth outcomes, enhances the care experience, is cost effective, and reduces inequities.
A birth center is a home-like place where midwives provide prenatal, birth, and postpartum care.
Research shows that birth center care improves birth outcomes and increases satisfaction. Midwives are healthcare professionals who provide expert care, support, and guidance during pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and throughout our reproductive lives.
Community birth centers provide safe, culturally-reverent care to meet the needs of communities of color facing high maternal and infant mortality rates.
