    Midwifing America

    A new podcast for national conversations about maternity and women’s health care, Midwifing America highlights stories from providers and the women they serve to illustrate the state of maternity care. There is mounting evidence that we have a maternal health crisis in our country as we spend more, and have poorer outcomes, than other developed countries. Join us as we Reimagine Women’s Healthcare. Sponsored by the Oregon Affiliate of the American College of Nurse-Midwives, with the help of Thacher Grant funding. All views expressed herein are our own.

    Episode Seven: Save the Birth Center May 19, 2019
    Show notes

    A community reacts to the threatened closure of a beloved birth center that has been serving Eugene, Oregon for nearly 30 years.

    Strong Start for Mothers and Newborns: Findings at a Glance

    “Women who received prenatal care in Strong Start Birth Centers had better birth outcomes and lower costs relative to similar Medicaid beneficiaries not enrolled in Strong Start. In particular, rates of preterm birth, low birthweight, and cesarean section were lower among Birth Center participants, and costs were more than $2,000 lower per mother-infant pair during birth and the following year. These promising Birth Center results may be useful to state Medicaid programs seeking to improve the health outcomes of their covered populations.”
