Governor Lamont Signs Legislation Licensing Free-Standing Birth Centers in an Effort To Increase Access To High-Quality Maternal Health Services

Press Release

"This new law will help combat gaps in access to maternal health care that are preventing patients from receiving the care they need. These birth centers can open and operate independently, creating an alternative that makes accessing this essential care easier and more convenient and giving parents more choices on where to receive their birthing care. It is a moral imperative that we take actions to ensure safe delivery and add more choices for giving birth, no matter a family's background."
