Midwifing Space: Advancing Architecture and Policy for Healing Spaces
Neighborhood Birth Center
Space is never neutral. The way we design birth, and healthcare spaces generally, reflects what we value—how we center families' voices and choices, how we harmonize safety and dignity, and how we honor culture and identity.
In this webinar, Nashira Baril and Katherine Rushfirth of Boston’s Neighborhood Birth Center (NBC), will be joined by their architect, Amie Shao, of MASS Design Group, to share reflections from their partnership, including:
- A human-centered, trauma-informed, co-design process
- Principles for designing affirming, safe, and culturally reverent birth spaces
- Regulatory challenges and pathways to policy change
NBC’s approach demonstrates how spatial design, community engagement, policy advocacy, and grassroots organizing can create a sustainable, replicable, and scalable model for birth equity.
