About
Arizona Community Birth Coalition aims to advance the health and wellbeing of childbearing families within our state. We strive to increase options for accessible, safe, evidence-informed, and compassionate pregnancy and postpartum care. We accomplish this through two primary methods. First, by advocating for informed decision-making in childbirth, and cultivating a supportive network that empowers family to make choices aligned with their values and preferences. Second, by advocating for safe midwifery care in the community birth setting. Through education, outreach, and community collaboration, we seek to enhance the overall health outcomes and satisfaction of individuals and families throughout the perinatal periods, contributing to a healthier and more informed community.
We believe that every family deserves access to respectful, evidence-based, and compassionate pregnancy and birth care.
Our Mission
ACBC is dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of childbearing families in Arizona through education, advocacy, and community-building. We strive to increase access to evidence-based care and support for all families, and to promote informed decision-making in childbirth.
Our Vision
Our vision is of a future where all families in Arizona have access to respectful, safe, and equitable pregnancy and birth care, regardless of their race, ethnicity, income, or insurance status. We envision a community in which families are empowered to make informed decisions about their care, and birth workers are valued and supported in their vital work.
