Birth & Women's Health Center

Birth & Women's Health Center Safe sensitive care for women of all ages. BWHC opened in 2004 and is licensed by the Kansas Department of Health & Environment.

It was built as a cooperative project by 10 Amish & Mennonite churches in Reno County who act as Board of Directors for this project. Our center provides an alternative for childbearing families who anticipate a low-risk pregnancy and birth. We believe that childbearing is a normal event, not an illness. Within limits of safety, the entire birth experience can be as individualized as the client desires. Our birth center and women's health center provides:

*Prenatal care, birthing services, and postpartum care


*Childbirth education classes


*A homelike quiet rural setting that is ideal for natural childbirth.


*Two cheerful private birth rooms each with its own bathroom, including large air jet tubs for labor relaxation.


*A cozy kitchen-family room used to prepare meals, relax, and use as the family and the laboring mother choose.


*Freedom to labor as the client chooses, with or without medication.


*Family centered care with the ability to have the baby with the parents continuously.


*Early discharge to home (average stay approximately 6 hours postpartum) with two follow-up home visits or phone calls, and 2 week and 6 week office visits. We accept most major insurances including BC/BS. The Birth & Women’s Health Center serves women and their babies regardless of their ability to pay who meet the criteria for low-risk pregnancy and primary care. Discounts are offered based on the federal poverty guidelines for family size and income. For more information about discounted services please talk with our office manager. If you are interested in receiving discounted services, please bring at least one of the following documents to your appointment to determine your eligibility. Documents include last year W-2, two most recent pay stubs, letter from employer, or Form 4506-T (if W-2 not filed). Self-employed individuals will be required to submit detail of the most recent three months of income and expenses for the business. Adequate information must be made available to determine eligibility for the
discounted services.

Get to Know Your Midwife 🤍

Hi! I’m Chelsea, CNM, and I wanted to take a moment to help you get to know me a little better.

I joined Angel and the rest of the Birth and Women’s Center staff in August 2025, and one of my favorite parts of being a midwife is building real relationships with the women and families I care for. I believe midwifery is about listening, education, and partnership—making sure you feel supported, informed, and confident in your care.

A few things about me:
• I’m a mom, and family is at the heart of everything I do.
• I value a calm, thoughtful approach to care—there’s no such thing as a silly question.
• I believe trust and connection matter just as much as clinical care.
• I truly love walking alongside women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and all seasons of women’s health.

If we’ve met already, I’m so grateful to be part of your journey. If we haven’t yet, I’m looking forward to meeting you! 🤍

✨ Question of the Week:
What’s one thing you wish you could ask a midwife—pregnancy, birth, or women’s health related?
