Midwives open prenatal clinic in Morrisville, eye standalone birthing center

MORRISVILLE, Vt. (WCAX) – A team of nurse midwives has opened a maternity clinic in Morrisville as they work toward a larger goal: creating Vermont’s first standalone birthing center. Vermont once had 11 hospital birthing centers. And if we don’t do it, no one will,” said Kopas, a nurse midwife and Green Mountain Birthing Center founder. The standalone birthing center is set to open in Waterbury by 2028. Green Mountain Birthing Center also hopes to keep its clinic for pre- and post-natal care.
