The Birth Center Week theme for this year is: Birthing Love, Birthing Power.

Birth Centers Week's focus is to grow the power and public support for community birth centers that provide safe, culturally-relevant, midwifery-led health care for all.

Rhode Island General Law defines "Birth center", or “Center,” means any public or private establishment, place or facility, geographically distinct and separate from a hospital or the mother's residence, staffed, equipped, and operated to provide services to low-risk mothers as defined in § 8.3(A)(9) of this Part during pregnancy, labor, birth, and puerperium.
