Health equity is about health outcomes and systems leadership. By leading in our own care, Birth Detroit invites courageous questioning of not only inequity in maternal health outcomes but of the inequities deeply rooted in our maternal health systems and current approaches. The mission of Birth Detroit is to midwife safe, quality, loving care through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. We are no longer asking permission to save our own lives. Come learn about planning for Detroit’s first freestanding birth center.

Hosted by Birth Detroit.
