What is a Freestanding Birth Center?
A freestanding birth center is a homelike, out-of- hospital facility where a woman’s choices in pregnancy and birth are supported and respected. This birth center meets all local, state, and federal health, fire and safety regulations and is licensed by the Connecticut Department of Health. Women can feel safe and secure in the fact that midwives and consulting physicians work together as part of a unified system of quality healthcare. Most of all a birth center provides a program of care that gives a woman confidence in her ability to give birth, balancing her need for human touch and companionship with her potential need for technology and medical intervention.
