and Women's Health Care
Transforming maternity care into an intimate and deeply personal experience.
U.S. women are more likely to die during childbirth than women in any other developed country
The U.S. is ranked 33rd among 179 countries on the health and well-being of women and children according to the 16th Annual State of the World's Mothers Report.
The data is consistent with the numbers in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's pregnancy mortality surveillance system. Pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. have more than doubled from 1987 to 2011, according to the CDC.
More than a third of births in the U.S. are Cesarean sections. Studies show a correlation between unnecessary medical intervention and negative outcomes. We're leading the effort to improve maternity care in our community.
Reshaping Women's Health Care in Springfield
We empower women with the care and resources to not just survive childbirth but feel confident, prepared, and supported through the entire process — from preconception through labor and delivery, to postpartum, breastfeeding, newborn care, and beyond.
We've restructured the typical patient experience from the ground up. Instead of the rushed, impersonal, or rigid feel typically associated with healthcare, the atmosphere and service you'll receive at Family Birth and Wellness is friendly, caring, warm, and professional. We provide the resources and personalized care to promote the health and wellness of mothers during pregnancy and to empower you to make informed decisions.
Birth is a natural process that sometimes requires medical intervention, but interfering in the natural process with unncessary intervention actually creates more stress and discomfort for mothers and babies and increases the risk of negative outcomes. At Family Birth and Wellness you're far less likely to have a cesarean, we don't perform routine episiotomies, don't require women to labor in unnatural positions, and accommodate mothers with a wealth of resources to assist the natural labor and birth process.
We believe birth is not just a medical event, but one of the most exciting and challenging life experiences women and families will ever face. We encourage and motivate you through that long process with education, 24/7 availability to answer your questions and concerns, and the care of experienced medical providers who are passionate about seeing you healthy and successful.

Our Philosophy of Care
Centered Around You
We believe in providing you a personalized health care experience that takes into account your unique medical history and preferences.

Evidence-based
We strive to use the best available research and use our extensive clinical expertise to drive decision making. This results in presenting our patients with the data to make informed decisions based on sound evidence.
Proactive and Preventative
We focus on proactively diagnosing and resolving potential health problems instead of only treating symptoms. We belive in holistic care where overall health and wellness are critical to avoiding illness.
Informed Choice
We provide you with the information you need to make informed health care choices, not just informed consent.
Minimal Intervention
Intervention is sometimes medically necessary, but unnecessary intervention often leads to increased risk. We believe in minimizing unnecessarily invasive procedures while being vigilant of the health and safety of mothers and babies.
