The Copley Hospital Birthing Center holds a special place within our community. As a Not For Profit Hospital, it has established a tradition of providing exceptional care and support to numerous families through the years. Its midwifery and patient-centered care model is cherished by those who have been fortunate enough to experience it firsthand.

One cannot overstate the importance of such a resource in our community. Its potential closure would represent a significant loss for all potential parents here. Moreover, the ramifications of a decision like this extend beyond the locale. Nationally, it's known that 98% of births occur in hospitals and of those cases, around 12% utilize the midwifery model (source: CDC). And with evidence suggesting that midwifery care leads to fewer interventions, better maternal and neonatal outcomes, and increased patient satisfaction (source: American Journal of Managed Care), there is a clear need to maintain these important healthcare options.

Let's rally as a community and let our voices be heard. Make our stance clear, that we value the midwifery and patient-centered care model, that we want Copley Hospital's Birthing Center to remain open for future generations to benefit, as we did. Sign this petition today, and let's change the course of this decision.
