About the center

CP Birth Center is a stand-alone birthing center, built on a woman's right to choose a high-quality, low-risk birth outside the hospital, with minimal medical intervention.

Women are guided to trust their bodies through labor and birth, with partners and support people cared for together in a quiet, peaceful environment.

We're affiliated with the OB/GYN providers at St. George Regional Hospital, so if a labor or birth becomes high-risk, you move to hospital care without losing time.
