Welcome!
Community
Birth & Family Center is currently
undergoing many changes!
We're delighted this month to announce the appointment of our new
Executive Director, Lisa Chin. Lisa comes to us with an outstanding
background in leadership, fund development, strategic planning, and
non-profit management. Welcome, Lisa!
We do not yet have a confirmed location for our new full-service
freestanding birth center. In the meantime, our 12 midwives are
continuing to practice around the metropolitan Seattle area, attending
births at Seattle Home Maternity Service in Columbia City, as well as
other birth centers in the community and at home. Our midwives are
skilled in all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth and use gentle
birthing methods that help you feel safe and respected during all
stages of your pregnancy.
To reach a specific midwifery practice, please click the "Meet Our
Midwives" button for a listing.
We're also continuing to
offer many postpartum support services. During this interim year,
classes and our breastfeeding clinic are being held at our
CB&FC Annex, located at 2517 Eastlake Avenue E, Suite 102.
For more information on Classes, click the "Classes and Events" button.
For more information on breastfeeding support please click on the
"Breastfeeding Support and Conference" button.
Our additional classes for August 2008 include a Breastfeeding
Conference for Doulas on August 22nd, and a CPR Class for Professionals
on August 26th - CB&FC will also host a AHA Heartsaver CPR
class from 9am-12pm. This course includes infant and child CPR, and the
cost is $40. Space is limited, so if you are interested in registering
for this class, please contact Barb Orcutt ASAP at
cbfcbreastfeeding@gmail.com .
Please browse our site for information on midwifery care, the benefits
of a birthing center, and information on the specific services we
offer.
Your involvement makes CB&FC a success! Your tax-deductible
donation provides pregnancy and early childhood service and care for
families in our community. We would love your help.
