The Midwife Center accepts the following payment methods for primary gynecological, prenatal and childbirth care:
– Most PA medical assistance plans, including UPMC for You, Gateway and United Community Plan
– Most local and national private insurance plans, including UPMC, Highmark*, United and Aetna
– If you do not have insurance, we can assist you in applying for medical assistance. If you do not qualify for medical assistance you may be eligible for sliding-scale care. The Midwife Center also offers payment plans.

*If you are pregnant and have Highmark, please visit our website at midwifecenter.org or call 412.321.6880 to learn more. Our home-like facility is conveniently located on Penn Avenue in the Strip District. The first floor of our Center houses three nature-themed birth suites, each with its own large bathroom with a whirlpool bath, and our family kitchen. Upstairs is a large waiting room, three exam rooms and administrative offices. Our extensive video and book library is available here as well. Care at our facility is provided by Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who are registered nurses with additional education in midwifery. As all CNMs, our midwives are certified by examination through the American College of Nurse-Midwives or the American College of Nurse-Midwives Certification Council and licensed by the Pennsylvania Board of Medicine. TMC is a private, non-profit practice, supported in part by patient fees, United Way Contributors Choice, and tax-deductible contributions from individuals, businesses and foundations.

New friends for Natalie!

During the latest Clinical Drills, our NeoNatalie resuscitation doll was joined by two additional resuscitation dolls, provided by Dr. Lois Bangiolo & Dr. Jennifer McCain of UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh

For our staff, emergency drills build muscle memory in skills and procedures that are uncommon at the Midwife Center, expanding their care knowledge and instincts in order to provide the best medical service to our clients

Please join the Midwife Center to celebrate Rickia Davenport's theatrical dance work, 'The Choice' - debuting as part of the Kelly-Strayhorn Theatre's Freshwork series this weekend, November 7 & 8

'The Choice' is a powerful dance-theater work exploring the complex reproductive health challenges faced by African American women. Motherhood, child loss, bodily autonomy, and societal expectations collide in this intimate performance. Through evocative movement and spoken word, a diverse cast brings to life the emotional and physical realities of navigating difficult decisions—often in isolation or within unsupportive relationships

Choreographed by Rickia Davenport, 'The Choice' blends contemporary, hip-hop, and modern dance with compelling visuals, crafting a deeply personal yet universal story of struggle, resilience, and hope. This experience invites audiences to reflect, empathize, and connect, opening space for vital conversations about motherhood, autonomy, and shared responsibility

More information and tickets available at https://kelly-strayhorn.org/events/f25-rickia/

TMC is proud to present at both performances this weekend, so if you're headed to the theatre, please be sure to pick up some of our information and resources and chat with members of our staff
