Victory in Court!
The ADPH regulations were overturned and we are now able to move forward with applying for a license & accreditation!
Many thanks to the ACLU of Alabama, Heather Skanes, MD of Oasis Family Birthing Center, and Dr. Stephanie Mitchell of Birth Sanctuary Gainesville for standing alongside Dr. Robinson in this fight for access to birth centers for Alabama families.

Early 2024
Birthing Suites Complete!
Renovations will be fully completed on our beautiful birthing suites!
Birth in comfort in a home-like environment with all the things you'd need to have a safe and comfortable birth, including deep labor tubs, birthing stools, essential oil diffusers, Bose speakers, birth swings, and queen size beds.
Support Our Work
In 2020, we worked hard to raise funds from private supporters who were willing to loan the money to buy the birth center building. Now, we are asking our community to help us with renovating this space to make it a beautiful, comforting, safe space for birthing people in Alabama.
We can't do this alone! Join us on this journey to better maternity care through increased midwifery access in Alabama.
