On January 25, WBWC hosted a “How to Start a Birth Center” seminar. Over 60 midwives, students, and health professionals from across the country came to Chapel Hill to learn what it takes to start and maintain a freestanding birth center. Maureen Darcey, CNM, and Brianna Honea, our business director, welcomed the group and led a tour. Birth center staff were on hand to answer questions, run through birth scenarios, and provide information. It’s very encouraging that so many people are interested in expanding birth options for women throughout the country, and we’re pleased we’re able to share our expertise!
