The ultimate birth center: a collaborative model for innovation.
Lest these descriptions sound too good to be true, Virginia Mason Birth Center is not utopia. It is a real place with real problems and struggles. Implementing and maintaining personalized, high-quality obstetric care to the childbearing woman and her family has not come easily. Innovations continue to be developed in response to patients' and providers' desire for birth services that are flexible, sensitive, and designed around families' preferences and needs. A common philosophy continues to guide a dedicated staff, administration, and provider group within a framework of collaboration, innovation, and quality to enable a wonderful professional practice to evolve.
