What is the difference between a freestanding birth center and a hospital birth center?
The major difference between freestanding birth centers and hospital birth centers is that hospitals create policies to care for people who are sick, while freestanding birth centers design programs for healthy pregnant women. Also, freestanding birth centers are based on the midwifery model of care which approaches pregnancy and birth as a normal family event until proven otherwise. Freestanding birth centers offer the personal yet comprehensive care that every expectant mother and her family deserve.
