Where to find Midwifery Birth Center at St. Joseph

What parents say

This birth center is incredible and unique. It is the only outpatient birth center on a hospital campus in Washington state. They have queen size beds, giant birthing tubs. Every woman gets her own midwife, doula and nurse 💗

★★★★★ — Emily, 2019-05

I gave birth here a week ago and it will forever be remembered as the best day of my life. The midwives and nurses were all incredibly skilled and lovely, and made my husband and I feel like we were the only ones there.The atmosphere is one of tranquility, peace, love, and respect for the natural process of birth.

★★★★★ — Amelia, 2020-08

My wife and I had the privilege to give birth at the midwifery birthing center at St. Joes. The rooms were so great and comfortable with everything you want but the real reason it was so great was the amazing staff. They are so attentive and helpful.

★★★★★ — Jason, 2021-12

If I could go back in time, I would have wanted my first born to be delivered here. The team of midwives and RNs are amazing, supportive, and really do their best to put me at ease. The lights were nice and dimmed.
