The Canadian and American healthcare systems are frequently compared, from either side of the border, with Canada’s often lauded as superior largely due to its publicly funded nature. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a lot to learn from other healthcare models around the world. One area where the US can be considered a leader in comparison is the increasing growth of Birth Centers accessible around the states. But you may be wondering - what even is a Birth Center and who is it for?
Join us on today’s episode as Dr. Sarah chats with certified nurse midwife Sarah Stetina, and Director of Midwifery at the Burr Ridge Birth Center in Burr Ridge, Illinois. They discuss the different practices that have led to the emergence of Birth Centers and philosophies around providing the best maternity care, for patients such as yourself!
