Uplift Families. Strengthen Midwifery. Lower Healthcare Costs.
IMPROVING MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH SINCE 2020
The United Birth Coalition was formed to achieve the mission of increasing access to midwifery care for mothers and babies across the Midwest. We have been working at a grassroots level ever since, changing the legislation and building a network of providers to make it easier for mothers and their babies to get the care they need and deserve through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
BRIDGING GAPS THROUGH EDUCATION
We will achieve our mission when birth education and options are available to everyone. By providing resources for parents and educational opportunities for midwives, we inch closer to our goal of safer births for everyone.
Join our resource library or support our mission as a network member, volunteer, or board member.
“When a woman births, not only is a baby being born but so is a mother.
How we treat her will affect how she feels about herself as a mother
and as a parent. Be gentle. Be kind. Listen.”
― Ruth Ehrhardt
