Sisters in Birth

At Sisters in Birth, we are dedicated to empowering women through prenatal, birth, and postpartum phases. Our goal is to reduce risks associated with unnecessary labor inductions, cesarean deliveries, preterm babies, and maternal and infant deaths by increasing access to the midwifery model of care and doula care within freestanding birth centers and communities across the state of Mississippi.

The Academy will train and certify a workforce of doulas and maternal and child health leaders to address the State's prolonged maternity crisis, which worsens each year.
