CABC weathers first blizzard of 2010

April 16, 2010

Even blizzard conditions in the Mid-Atlantic states couldn’t stop our intrepid site visitors from completing their accreditation site visits in February. Three birth centers renewed their accreditation February 5-7 – Infinity Birthing Center in Cookeville, TN; Bay Area Midwifery in Baltimore, MD; and Women’s Health and Birth Options in Missoula, MT. Over 30 inches of snow fell in the Baltimore area, and air travel throughout the Northeast was impacted by the storm. The site visit teams dealt with the weather and ensuing travel delays with calm and grace – birth center work prepares us for dealing with the unexpected. Also remarkable for this site visit weekend was the return of a familiar name in Missoula, MT. Jeanne Hebl, formerly of The Birth Center in Missoula, now owns Women’s Health and Birth Options. The Commission is happy to have Jeanne’s new center join the ranks of accredited centers.
