Birth & Women's Health Center

It was built as a cooperative project by 10 Amish & Mennonite churches in Reno County who act as Board of Directors for this project. Our center provides an alternative for childbearing families who anticipate a low-risk pregnancy and birth. We believe that childbearing is a normal event, not an illness. Within limits of safety, the entire birth experience can be as individualized as the client desires. Our birth center and women's health center provides:

*Prenatal care, birthing services, and postpartum care


*Childbirth education classes


*A homelike quiet rural setting that is ideal for natural childbirth.


*Two cheerful private birth rooms each with its own bathroom, including large air jet tubs for labor relaxation.


*A cozy kitchen-family room used to prepare meals, relax, and use as the family and the laboring mother choose.


*Freedom to labor as the client chooses, with or without medication.


*Family centered care with the ability to have the baby with the parents continuously.


*Early discharge to home (average stay approximately 6 hours postpartum) with two follow-up home visits or phone calls, and 2 week and 6 week office visits. We accept most major insurances including BC/BS. The Birth & Women’s Health Center serves women and their babies regardless of their ability to pay who meet the criteria for low-risk pregnancy and primary care.
