Public Statement

April 3rd, 2021

We are aware that a video has been posted on social media that misrepresents the safe birthing environment Jazz and Brooklyn Birthing Centers strive to create. It is important that every one of our patients feels safe, respected and heard. We have carefully reflected on our actions and processes, and while we support the intent and clinical judgement of our midwives, in this scenario we recognize the traumatizing impact this video has had on members of our community. We welcome all questions, concerns, comments regarding our policies and how they may impact you as a birthing person or a birth worker. Jazz and Brooklyn Birthing center walk with our patients and we would like to restore trust appropriately. We are here, we are listening, and we are ready to do the work necessary to make each and every person feel this is a safe place for them. You may direct questions, comments, or concerns to Jessica Henman our Midwifery Director via email at Jessica@jazzbirthcenter.com
