Ohio Families for Safe Birth (OFSB) is a consumer-driven effort to create a statewide coalition of families and professionals promoting legislation and policies grounded in the Midwives Model of Care which support families’ access to safe, appropriate, evidence-based care during pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum. Our purposes are:
* Supporting legislation that licenses Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) in Ohio;
* Raising awareness and support for families choosing an out-of-hospital birth as a safe, appropriate option;
* Supporting safe family and baby initiatives in all birth settings.
