40 Years of Exceptional, Client-Centered Care

The Midwife Center for Birth & Women's Health is excited to celebrate 40 years of exceptional, client-centered care in 2022! Throughout the year, we're celebrating this milestone and all the people who have been part of our history.

Since 1982, The Midwife Center - originally known as BirthPlace - has provided safe, satisfying primary gynecological, prenatal, and birthing care for thousands of clients, welcomed well over 8,000 babies, and become one of the largest freestanding birth centers in the United States, as well as Western Pennsylvania's first and only licensed and freestanding birth center.

"It is a testament to the notion that dreams CAN come true."

"I am very pleased to be able to send The Midwife Center family many, many congratulations on the 40th Anniversary of what began as BirthPlace...the first out-of-hospital birthing center in Pittsburgh.

What a journey it's been...from a store front converted to a welcoming, home-like place where families could come to give birth, attended by a nurse-midwife and a nurse...to the wonderful Midwife Center for Birth & Women's Health that now exists.

It is a testament to the notion that dreams CAN come true...especially when a good idea is combined with creative, hard-working, dedicated people who believe in it and work together to foster growth and development."

-Linda Hoag, CNM, TMC's Founding Midwife
