✨ TEAM CCBC 2025 ✨
As we look back on this incredible year, our hearts are overflowing with gratitude. In 2025, we witnessed growth, faith, and teamwork in powerful ways. By the Lord’s favor and provision, we were blessed to build a new all-inclusive birth center, creating a welcoming, safe, and loving space where families can experience one of life’s most sacred moments.
We also celebrate the joy of graduating two new midwives—a testament to dedication, calling, and the strength of mentorship within our team. Watching them step fully into their purpose has been a true blessing.
None of this would have been possible without our amazing community. Your prayers, support, trust, and encouragement remind us that this work is never done alone. It is the result of many hands, faithful hearts, and God’s perfect timing.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. We remain humbled, hopeful, and excited for what lies ahead as we continue serving families with compassion, excellence, and faith. 🤍
“To God be the glory for the great things He has done.”

❄️❄️❄️ Calling all clients and friends!!❄️❄️❄️
the staff stockings are looking emptier than the waiting room after lunch! Help us fill them up with goodies, trinkets, and perhaps something stronger than coffee (just kidding, HR!). Your thoughtful (or mischievous) contributions will help our wonderful team have a Christmas season so bright they’ll need to borrow someone’s sunglasses from lost and found.

Our “story” is a long one. We would love to share more with you if you want to hear the “longer version.” This is actually the “abbreviated version.”
The Birth Center story begins with our founder and the current owner, Beth Overton. Beth began her midwifery journey in 1995 (25 years ago). Beth spent 3 years in schooling and apprenticeship with some of the finest midwives in the state and even traveled out of state to get additional training in Florida. But Beth accredits her most valuable education to Helen Jolly Nelson and her staff midwives at Family Birth Services in the DFW metroplex. Helen is retired now but still active serving on our state’s midwifery board. She and Beth have remained good friends and kept in touch all these years. At one time, Helen was given the nickname the “grandmother” of midwifery in Texas because she has done so much for Texas midwives. This was Beth’s mentor.
There were no birth centers in Corpus Christi at the time Beth began to study, and only one other midwife in the area, who never had any formal training herself. So Beth decided to travel to get a more formal education, not only because the state required it but because that was what she wanted. After completing her education, Beth was licensed and began a home birth practice, which steadily grew over the next 14 years.
During her home birth years, Beth became heavily involved in her midwifery organization and served as President of that organization. She also served on several committees for the State Midwifery Board during an extremely important legislative time for midwives between 2002-2003. It was during this critical time in history for midwives in Texas and under Beth’s leadership, that Texas midwives were able to finally become “licensed” in Texas. Prior to that, midwives were not considered licensed, they were called “documented midwives,” which simply meant they had registered with the state.
In 2003, Beth sat for the NARM exam (North American Registry of Midwives) and became a Certified Professional Midwife. She then went on to become a preceptor for NARM as well as several midwifery schools so that she could teach midwifery students.
Then in late 2011, Beth decided to pursue a dream to open Corpus Christi’s first free-standing licensed birth center. Her dream was to provide more options for more women and to build a practice of like-minded midwives who would work together in harmony. It wasn’t easy. Beth had to remortgaged her home and personally invested all she had into this dream but her investment paid off. Friends and patients jumped in to help, too. They donated furniture and supplies and of course spread the good news.
The Corpus Christi Birth Center opened in May of 2012. The first location was on Santa Fe street in an old home built in 1912. It was a charming old home but it was very small and was rented, not owned. However, since the birth center was so successful that first year, Beth was able to purchase her own building less than two years later.
Beth continued to teach and train new midwives and continued to look for those that would be a good fit for her vision. She loved teaching new midwives almost as much as she does bringing new babies into the world! As the Center continued to grow, two of Beth’s students caught the vision that Beth had for the Center and they were a perfect fit, too. Those ladies are Grace Frantz and Adlai Welfel. Grace was the first to finish. But Adlai also because licensed about a year later. They are both now Certified Professional Midwives. They are both Texas Licensed Midwives, and we are so pleased that they both chose to put down some roots at CC Birth Center as staff midwives.
The Corpus Christi Birth Center is still the only fully licensed free standing birth center for the greater Corpus Christi area. Combined experience for all our midwives is over 25 years! Even Adlai, our “least experienced” midwife has already attended 158 births (as of June 13, 2020). Beth is currently serving as the Clinical Director for the Center. She overseas the clinical practice and provides back up for the staff midwives as needed.
We currently have one student, Katie Hon. Katie is one year into her clinical training and is studying through a MEAC accredited school which is Mercy In Action College of Midwifery. When Katie completes her schooling and apprenticeship, she will become our first student to finish with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Midwifery. We are so excited to grow with the advancement of excellence in midwifery education as we help to advance quality care in our community.
We love the women we get to know and serve. We love all those beautiful babies, too. We hope you will come by and meet us in person, especially if you still have questions.
Well, that was the “abbreviated version” of our story. But all you have to do is ask, if you want to hear the longer version. ;-).
