Mission Statement

The purpose of Birthworkers of Central Ohio is to promote informed choice and safe birth for mothers and babies. We are a diverse group of childbirth educators, doulas, midwives, and other birth professionals who support each other, individually and as a group, in our efforts to exand the birthing options available to women and their families in central Ohio. Through community education, we are dedicated to raising public awareness of these options.

We endorse the Mother-Friendly Childbirth Initiative developed by the Coalition for Improving Maternity Services (CIMS).
