July 23rd Update:

New Birth Company Birth Center Closing September 1st, 2024

We are very sorry to announce that New Birth Company, LLC Overland Park, Kansas will close as of September 1, 2024 due to unsustainable market conditions. The last day of clinic will be Wednesday August 21st, and the last day to be admitted to the birth center will be Thursday, August 22.  After due diligence and much prayer, the Safety Net partner we had approached communicated their desire and support for a future birth center; but not for at least 6 months.  In response to this news, we will support all of our clients to transfer their care to another provider concurrent to our closure.  We have curated a list of Home Birth Midwives, Certified Nurse Midwives, Family Practice Physicians and Obstetricians who have a proven history of supporting your informed consent and shared decision making.  The Midwives will be meeting with you at your next visit or calling each and every one of our clients to review these options and support your choices.  We will automatically send a copy of your records to the provider you choose.  You may also request a copy of your records for your personal use.  We will make a plan to provide August birthing Moms with post-partum care on a case by case basis. 

 

Founded by Rebecca Schleuger-Valdao, CNM and Veronica Mullet, CNM, the Midwives of New Birth Company have announced they are opening a home birth practice, Blossom Midwifery and Wellness.

Announcing Birth Center Closure:
We are very sorry to announce that New Birth Company, LLC Overland Park, Kansas will close as of September 1, 2024 due to unsustainable market conditions. Very simply, multiple insurance companies (Medicaid and Commercial) have failed to pay enough to cover expenses.  The last day of clinic will be Wednesday August 21st, and the last day to be admitted to the birth center will be Thursday, August 22. Our leadership team is fervently supporting a Wyandotte Safety Net Clinic in performing the needed due diligence to reopen a birth center in Kansas City, Kansas. Our goal is to provide continuity of care for all our clients. Every woman who is eligible for a Midwife Led Birth Center birth should have access to one. We appreciate that having knowledge of your options is important. You are encouraged to sign up for Monday’s virtual orientation session at 6pm to learn more. We will continue to send you emails, post information on our website and give virtual public updates every Monday evening. Either a Midwife or Administrator will reach out to you to assist you in supporting your care plans.
