Changing Laws to Save Lives

Creating better birth outcomes for mothers and babies in Ohio through increasing access to midwifery.

IMPROVING MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH SINCE 2020

The Buckeye Birth Coalition was formed to achieve the mission of increasing access to midwifery care for mothers and babies across the state of Ohio. We have been working at a grassroots level ever since, changing the legislation and building a network of providers to make it easier for mothers and their babies to get the care they need and deserve through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

WONDERING HOW WE CAN HELP YOU?

The BBC Board members, provider network, and volunteers are constantly working towards achieving our goals and providing more resources and choices for parents and midwives to educate themselves on safer birth options.
