Vermont is set to potentially welcome birthing centers as Governor Scott considers signing a bill that would allow for licenses to be provided to providers for the opening of clinics outside of traditional hospital settings. The state is one of only eight in the country without free-standing birth centers. Advocates believe that if the bill becomes law, Vermont’s first birthing center could be operational within a year. Supporters of birthing centers tout the benefits of receiving pre-natal and delivery care in a welcoming home-like environment, with one mother describing her experience at a birthing center as the most satisfying birth she had. The prospect of birthing centers in Vermont has sparked excitement among those who believe in the importance of providing different options for birthing care. The potential approval of birthing centers in Vermont marks a significant step towards increased accessibility and choice in maternity care for mothers in the state. WCAX News, Copyright 2025.
