Who they are

Beginnings Birth Center is a freestanding birth center located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, founded by Jolene in January 2017 and opened to clients in September 2018 with the first births welcomed in December 2018. The center was established to fill a community gap, as Colorado Springs previously lacked a freestanding birth center option despite other centers operating in Denver.

More about Beginnings Birth Center

The facility was intentionally located near a hospital to provide a balance of comfort and safety. The center operates under a midwifery-led care model, emphasizing physiologic birth, family-centered care, and informed choice for birthing persons. The birth center is licensed by the State of Colorado and holds national accreditation through the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers (CABC). It is also a member of the American Association of Birth Centers (AABC). For nursing professionals, specifically Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs), the center offers an environment focused on clinical autonomy, continuity of care, and evidence-based practice. The employer is currently recruiting full-time CNMs, including a fellowship pathway for new graduates. Compensation for CNMs is stated as $104,000+ DOE for experienced midwives and $94,000 for the new graduate fellowship year.

The mission statement is: 'We Deliver Outstanding, Family-Centered Care to Women and their Babies.' The center's primary goal is to attend to women wherever they want to and feel safest and most supported giving birth. Core values include family-centered care, natural birth support, informed choice, prevention, sensitivity, safety, appropriate medical intervention, and cost-effectiveness, consistent with the midwifery and wellness model of care.

Small freestanding facility with likely limited career advancement pathways beyond clinical CNM role
