Neighborhood Birth Center aims to improve health outcomes and experiences by creating a welcoming, home-like sanctuary for community-based midwifery care in the heart of Boston.
Birth centers are safe home-like health facilities, staffed by midwives, offering personalized care, with the potential transform community beyond childbirth.
In the US, as in Massachusetts, 98% of all births take place in a hospital, even though most births are low risk and can safely take place outside of the hospital.
Rich with Black history and just minutes to Boston Medical Center and Longwood Medical Area, Roxbury is the perfect home for Boston’s birth center.
A decades-old vision of Boston midwives, Neighborhood Birth Center is poised to break ground summer 2026 and open in 2027!
