Assuring continued development, expansion, and stability of the birth center model.
Supporting education of various audiences about the role of birth centers in improving reproductive health care.
Increasing accessibility to birth center care through support of educational opportunities for birth center providers and staff.
Funding ongoing quantitative and qualitative research and its dissemination.
Supporting birth centers achieving accreditation through the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers (CABC) as the standard for birth center excellence.
“I support the AABC Foundation because of my passion for empowering women as the decision makers through pregnancy and childbirth.”
