Newsletter - February, 2007

Do you feel strongly about choices in health care? Are you concerned about the vanishing choices available to women in our area for the site of their birth, their birth attendant, and their well-woman care? The former Midwives Care has now become Birth and Beyond: Advocates for Woman Centered Health Care. We hope to find ways to educate women in Cincinnati (and beyond!) about the options they have when making choices about their birth and health, and about providers who can offer these options - as well as educating providers about safe options that SHOULD be available to women!

We invite anyone who has interest and passion around birth and women's health to attend one of our meetings, meet our current board members and volunteers, and see if this organization would be a good fit for you!

Our next board meeting is Thursday, February 15 at 6:30. Please RSVP by responding to this email or by phoning 513-541-5999 if you would like to attend, or if you have any questions.
