We support Birth Centers, Midwives and Doulas as we believe empowering choices in childbirth leads to healthier communities for all.

Thank you @gbhforumnetwork, @MassINC, and @CWBeacon for hosting this vital conversation. A special thanks to all Wagner Foundation birth equity partners for ensuring every individual’s right to a safe and empowering pregnancy and birth experience.

Health Equity means every birthing person should have access to safe childbirth, yet that is not the case. In MA, life threatening & fatal complications associated with labor & delivery have increased, w/ Black women experiencing the highest mortality rates.

Legislators, healthcare experts and advocates discuss the state of maternal health in the Commonwealth, and how better access to care can ensure that giving birth is safe, nurturing and survivable.

An incredibly powerful segment by @abbydphillip and @CNN.
Tonight’s show is personal for me. As this country faces a maternal health crisis, especially for Black women, I share why I ended up giving birth to my daughter at home – and why many Black women are finding that safety in childbirth is not always as simple as going to a hospital. Watch tonight, December 17, at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CNN.

...and, talk is talk, but I have SO admired the commitment of @BirthCenterBOS to its principles and bold imagination.
Their much-anticipated fundraising and development process has been slow and intensive---but that's what building things worth having sometimes take.

Beware 'charity' in equity work! Thanks to ED of @BirthCenterBOS for reminding us that our liberation is *shared*

We can and must improve and expand birthing options, including birth centers, supporting access to midwives and doulas & reimbursement for lactation services. TY to @baystatebirth, @birthcenterbos & so many others for your tireless advocacy for birthing people.

Thank you @BostonGlobe for publishing my letter on midwives and reimbursement equity. Midwives have the best outcomes, decrease health inequities AND save the health system millions. But we have to be VALUED fairly! bostonglobe.com/2023/07/28/o…
