The Midwife Center for Birth & Women's Health is southwestern Pennsylvania's only licensed and accredited freestanding birth center offering primary gynecological care, prenatal care and childbirth in a warm and supportive birth center. Our goal is to provide safe and satisfying care that is personalized to meet the needs of the client. We are guided by the philosophy that a person should be in control of their own health care, including their birth experience. The Midwife Center accepts the following payment methods for primary gynecological, prenatal and childbirth care:
– Most PA medical assistance plans, including UPMC for You, Gateway and United Community Plan
– Most local and national private insurance plans, including UPMC, Highmark*, United and Aetna
– If you do not have insurance, we can assist you in applying for medical assistance. If you do not qualify for medical assistance you may be eligible for sliding-scale care. The Midwife Center also offers payment plans.

*If you are pregnant and have Highmark, please visit our website at midwifecenter.org or call 412.321.6880 to learn more. Our home-like facility is conveniently located on Penn Avenue in the Strip District. The first floor of our Center houses three nature-themed birth suites, each with its own large bathroom with a whirlpool bath, and our family kitchen. Upstairs is a large waiting room, three exam rooms and administrative offices. Our extensive video and book library is available here as well. Care at our facility is provided by Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who are registered nurses with additional education in midwifery. As all CNMs, our midwives are certified by examination through the American College of Nurse-Midwives or the American College of Nurse-Midwives Certification Council and licensed by the Pennsylvania Board of Medicine. TMC is a private, non-profit practice, supported in part by patient fees, United Way Contributors Choice, and tax-deductible contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations. TMC accepts most insurance plans and is a member organization of Adagio Health, which enables the Center to provide gynecological care to clients for free or on a sliding fee scale based on income and family size. The facility is licensed by the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers (CABC).

Last year, The Midwife Center once again saw excellent outcomes for our prenatal clients and infants:

💜 11.75% Cesarean Section rate compared to 32.4% nationally
💜 2.22% Premature Birth rate compared to 10.41% nationally
💜 1.59% Low Birthweight rate compared to 8.58% nationally

TMC's 2025 statistics are compared to the most recently available CDC data and reflect the outcomes for clients who received care with The Midwife Center through the end of their pregnancy.

Birth centers, like The Midwife Center, consistently achieve better outcomes and reduce racial and economic disparities. In the midst of the ongoing maternal and infant health crisis that disproportionately harms Black and Indigenous communities, these positive outcomes show what is possible.

Thank you to our incredible team - and everyone who supports our work - for helping us provide excellent care to our community!

It's never too late to celebrate the start of a new year!

On Monday, Jan. 5th, our TMC nurses (and their kiddos) took a well-earned break to enjoy a potluck brunch in the third floor classroom

The compassionate care we bring to our clients begins with the camaraderie of our staff. Moments like these don't happen often, so we are especially grateful when they do.

How have you and your family welcomed in the new year?

“The care our family has received with each birth is unmatched and has changed my view of healthcare...for the better! The providers at The Midwife Center not only take providing care seriously, but they go the extra mile to ensure their patients are educated and involved in the care they receive. During my most recent labor, it felt empowering to be able to use knowledge from my previous births at The Midwife Center to cope really well and know exactly what was happening with my body. We are so thankful to have such an incredible resource for birth and gynecological care right here in Pittsburgh!"- Ali

The Midwife Center, like birth centers nationally, consistently sees excellent health outcomes for birthing people and infants. Because of support from our community, we are able to provide time-intensive, comprehensive care to our clients throughout their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys. Will you help us maintain this high standard of care with a gift before the year ends? https://bit.ly/give-tmc

Thank you for your support! 💜

“I do not have insurance right now and they do sliding scale bills…I have extreme medical anxiety, but I actually LOOK FORWARD to my visits here.” - Olivia C.

As healthcare costs rise, we are proud to offer sliding scale fees for our services so that people can receive the care they need, regardless of their income or insurance status. But we can’t do this without your support.

Will you make a donation today to ensure clients like Olivia can receive the compassionate care they need and deserve? https://bit.ly/give-tmc
