TORONTO BIRTH
CENTRE |
TORONTO BIRTH CENTRE INC. |
The
TORONTO BIRTH CENTRE INC. is committed to the establishment of a
freestanding birth centre and thus to providing a safe, satisfying, cost
effective childbirth alternative. We believe that childbearing families deserve
the choice of a birth setting focused on birth as a normal healthy event, that
provides comprehensive personalized care and education for childbirth and early
parenting, supports consumer decision making and eliminates unnecessary medical
intervention.
For
eight years the TORONTO BIRTH CENTRE has made every effort to obtain
support and funding from the Ontario Ministry of Health. Since 1985 we have
received sympathetic hearings and seen hospitals receive funding for hospital
controlled alternatives. However, we have yet to receive any commitment for an
autonomous community based true birth centre such as the TORONTO BIRTH CENTRE
proposes.
Now the
TORONTO BIRTH CENTRE Board of Directors and Members have voted to
proceed with opening our centre despite the lack of Ministry of Health
endorsement and funding.
To
succeed we need YOU -
We need
your support, your time, your money!
