We are the first State Licensed Freestanding birth center. As a non-profit, our commitment is to transform mainstream maternity care into what is best for mother and child. This is creating relationship based opportunities to expecting mothers and passionate State licensed midwives, introducing a family of midwives focused on your maternity care. Our midwives are a collaboration of independent practices, following the guidelines of midwifery and state licensing, making it more likely to find someone who is authentic and special to you, as your provider. We have developed the tools needed to take the lottery out of your birth experience when it comes to who your provider is, we have come a long way since becoming the first licensed birth center in the State of Alaska in 2009.
We are raising funds to achieve:
American Association of Birth Centers accreditation. We are 1/2 paid for inspection fees. It requires over $4,000 plus bringing inspectors up from the lower 48 to achieve this status. Unlike other major medical insurances, or state medicaid insurance this certification is required to be reimbursed by Tricare for facility fees. Tricare is our military insurance. Obtaining this certification will bring more possibilities for peaceful birth for the military in our community.
Cooperative supply house for local medical providers to gain access to smaller quantities of medical supplies at lower cost, avoiding delays that we, as Alaskans, sometimes experience in getting supplies in a timely manner.
Improve access for the facility. Our goal is to add wheelchair access at our end of the building, back exit for private entry, remodel our donation area, and redesign our smaller birth room.
Expand our fresh food donation days. We stopped advertising our food days about 10 months ago, because we run out of food. We turn away families every week and would like to assist every family in need.
Financially: advertising, fundraising campaigns, grant applications,and debt & cash flow management. This entire project is currently run off the commitment of volunteers in our community. The overhead for our project is high and we hear most often from mother’s in the community, “we did not even know this was here for us”.
Our community of clinical staff midwives await. Call us at 907-349-3054 today to find out what is possible!
