About This Cause
Atlanta Birth Center, Inc. (ABC), a 501c3 organization founded in 2013, serves as one of the nation's largest nationally accredited birth centers, and is the only birth center in the metro Atlanta area. We are dedicated to helping create a new future where racial equity in birthing outcomes is achieved in Georgia. To this end, we provide comprehensive midwifery care and serve approximately 500+ families annually, 55% of whom are low-income Georgians receiving state-funded health care coverage. With a staff of over 40 clinical professionals and essential workers, we provide evidence-based care with vastly improved outcomes compared to Georgia's broader maternal and infant health crisis. In the last three years specifically, the preterm birth rate for our clients was 3-4%, compared to 11.9% for Fulton County. The primary cesarean rate was 10%, compared to 25.2%, and our maternal and neonatal mortality rate was 0%, compared to 28.8 per 100,000 live births and 4.63 per 1,000 live births, respectively, for the state of Georgia. In the last two years, we were able to demonstrate outcomes that were equal between our Black and White clients. How does our center achieve these outcomes? Hard work, fueled by a passion for seeing birth equity achieved in Georgia.
