Atlanta Birth Center has been a vision shared by local industry professionals based on the birth center model of care with the premise that pregnancy and birth are normal life events and should be person-centered. This model includes prenatal care, mind, body, spirit and social monitoring, postpartum support, and much more.
We believe that a local area hospital cannot duplicate this experience, as its model of care is based solely on a medicalized process that presents a higher risk of low birth weight, infant mortality, use of interventions and more.
From the Birth Center:
"It is our mission is to be a sanctuary that nurtures the lives of people and their families by providing a continuum of family centered, equitable, and holistic care surrounding the childbearing experience. We have a vision of a community where birth is embraced as the most fundamental part of a conscious and connected human experience, where individual voices are heard and medical intervention is a necessary exception- not the norm."
