Birth Center Equity (Resist, Inc.)
The Beloved Workplace: Innovation in Community Birth Center Infrastructure
Birth Center Equity's proposed solution is Beloved Workplace, a non-clinical Managed Services Organization (MSO) designed to stabilize, support, and advance women-led community birth centers.
Women-dominated, care-based workplaces - particularly birth centers - deliver exceptional outcomes yet operate within fragile, inequitable systems that drive burnout and attrition. Birth Center Equity proposes Beloved Workplace, a values-aligned Managed Services Organization to address these structural failures. By providing shared administrative services, revenue stabilization, benefits access, and leadership pathways, BCE's Beloved Workplace MSO strengthens the midwifery workforce - especially midwives of color - while enabling sustainable, community-based care. This scalable model redesigns workplace infrastructure to advance equity, retention, and long-term economic security.
