Coming Soon

Welcoming a new space for safe, supportive, and holistic maternity care—because every family deserves to feel heard, respected, and deeply cared for.

We’re building the first independent birth center in Central Massachusetts—a place where expert midwifery care meets warmth, compassion, and choice. Here, families will find a nurturing environment designed to empower them with personalized care, holistic support, and the freedom to birth on their own terms.

We’ve seen too many parents in our community navigating maternity care without the options they deserve. And that’s why we’re here. This isn’t just about a birth center; it’s about reshaping maternity care in Central Massachusetts. Stay connected, be part of the movement, and help us bring this vision to life.

Why Worcester Needs a Birth Center

Here in Massachusetts, we have one birth center. 99% of births take place in hospitals. But birth isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience, and you deserve to have options.

Most births are considered low-risk and could safely happen in a birth center—but that choice barely exists. And the lack of options comes at a cost far greater than dollars.

Massachusetts ranks 45th in the nation for severe maternal morbidity. Black birthing people here are 1.9 times more likely to die during or after pregnancy than white non-Hispanic individuals and face a 70% greater risk of life-threatening complications.

We can do better. The need is real. The time is now. Let’s build Worcester’s first birth center.
