You know that excited feeling you get when you receive something in the mail and can’t wait to open it?  That was me sliding the Fast Company magazine out of the mailbox.  ”The League of Extraordinary Women” highlights women across companies and non for profits who are making a difference to improve the lives of women all over the world.

I believe Moms choosing natural childbirth and birthing at the birth center are INCREDIBLE and they inspire us every day with their efforts in birth and taking care of their babies and families.  We have made such progress  gaining access to more insurance networks and that is a tribute to the hard work of our moms and dads.  THANK YOU !

We’ve found that its really important to keep telling everyone what insurance networks we are in.  Please help us spread the word to your friends and family.

All BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD plans, FREEDOM NETWORK, PREFERRED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, CIGNA, TRICARE/TRIWEST, KANSAS HEALTHWAVE, MISSOURI HEALTHNET.  We are actively working with UNITED & HUMANA to finalize our contract with them (Yea!).

Please call us if you have any questions as there are many plans that fall under a different name. We also offer a self pay option.  We encourage families to be smart consumers and compare like services.

Thank you everyone for supporting birth center birth !
