To our beloved community,

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we share the news that the North Carolina Birth Center will close its doors effective June 30th, 2026.

This is a message we hoped we’d never have to write. The trust you placed in us was a gift we never took for granted.

We grieve for our clients who envisioned welcoming their babies here. We grieve for the families who found comfort, safety, and support within these walls. We grieve for our dedicated team, who poured their hearts into this work every single day. And we grieve for our community, which will feel the loss of a place built on connection, compassion, and the belief that families deserve personalized, respectful care.

We are grateful to our beautiful birth community for stepping in to help us transfer our patients into their care with as much respect and ease as possible

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journeys. Thank you for believing in birth center care. Thank you for the privilege of serving you.

With deep gratitude, sorrow, and love,

The North Carolina Birth Center Team

Today we celebrate Midwives and all the care and support they bring to families around the world. The word ‘Midwife’ comes from Old English origins meaning “With-Woman”. Midwifery is one of the oldest practices in recorded history dating back thousands of years. It is likely that none of us would be here without the care a Midwife provided to our ancestors at some point. Please take a minute today to thank a Midwife, to applaud a Midwife, to honor a Midwife.

And this year, we focus on how this essential workforce remains under-supported and urgently needed. Across the globe, there is a growing call to expand access to midwifery care. This means investing in education and training programs, improving insurance reimbursement so midwives can sustainably serve their communities, and breaking down barriers so more families can access this model of care. When we support midwives, we support safer births, healthier families, and stronger communities.

Please take a moment to share a comment of praise, or to share a memory or word about a Midwife in your life.
