Addressing the Need for Birth Centers in Vermont
Vermont is one of only eight states without a freestanding birth center.
Together, we can change that.
There is an unmet need for freestanding birth centers in our state.
Vermont families want this birth center model of care. Right now, Vermont birthing families are leaving their communities to find health care in neighboring states, traveling a significant distance to get the care they want and need. Vermont midwives are also leaving the state workforce to work as midwives in birth centers in other states. It’s time to meet the need.
