Although the midwifery care at the birth center is generally covered by insurance, the facility fee remains the responsibility of the birthing family. When a family chooses to birth at a freestanding birth center, they can expect to pay upward of $5,000. The kind of care that focuses on the individual person and honors them as a knowing participant in their pregnancy, labor and birth journey is the right of all birthing people. It is our belief that peaceful, evidence-based care should not be a privilege for those who can afford it. By raising funds that are then directed to families, Willow Wish is removing the inability to pay as a barrier to high-quality pregnancy and birthing options. Willow Wish is a grant program seeking to make the birth center experience accessible to families in Arizona.
