“As a midwife, my birth work and advocacy strive to create safe healing spaces that improve outcomes for birthing people who are particularly vulnerable to racialized obstetric harm and trauma. I see the Chicago South Side Birth Center as being that space."

Jeanine, Lead Steward

FINDING A HOME

We are currently raising money to fund the purchase of our building as well as its future remodel. We aim to offer a low risk option for birth and mixed risk option for reproductive health care for people in their own neighborhood and community.

We hope to be an answer to the lack of care options currently available on the Southside as well as a solution to the disparate maternal and child health rates among Black birthing people and children on the South Side.
