BIPOC Birth Center Directory

BCE created this directory of all known BIPOC-led birth centers as of October 2021, based on BCE’s own outreach and research. This list includes BIPOC-led birth centers (not BIPOC-serving birth centers) in recognition of the structural inequities in BIPOC access to midwifery education and to the capital needed to finance birth centers.
