Chicago Maternity Center Story Screening and Panel Discussion
For more than 75 years, the Chicago Maternity Center provided safe home deliveries for Chicago mothers. However, when modern medicine's attitude toward home birth changed and funding from Northwestern University declined in 1974, the center was forced to close. This film interweaves the history of the center with the stories of a young woman about to have her first baby and the center's fight to stay open in the face of the corporate takeover of medicine.

The issues in healthcare continue.  After the screening, a panel comprised of filmmaker Sue Davenport, Sharene Miller, the mother who allowed her birth to be filmed, Shirley Moore, midwife and Chicago Maternity Center consumer, and Jeanine Valrie Logan, student midwife and doula extraordinaire, will field questions. Sarah Simmons, local home birth midwife, will moderate.

Don't miss a rare opportunity to see a fine documentary and support a local organization doing birth justice work with vulnerable communities!
