Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond
Urban Baby Beginnings® – Building Virginia’s Maternal Health Hub System.
Where statewide coordination meets local care.
Collective Solidarity: Because healthy births are built together
Built by moms, for moms. Urban Baby Beginnings® is Virginia’s first and leading nonprofit to build maternal and perinatal health hub infrastructure—delivering direct services while transforming systems of care for pregnant and parenting families across the Commonwealth.
For generations, families in Virginia have made care work in community—long before systems caught up. We carry that legacy forward so that every mother of childbearing age has access to a hub where support is simple, trusted, and close to home.
Born from community roots and the wisdom of Granny midwives—Urban Baby Beginnings® built a model that meets families where they are and walks with them through pregnancy, birth, and the third year after. We partner with hospitals and clinics, train a local workforce, and hold a clear standard:
Full commitment • Listen first • Dignity and respect • Cultural awareness and appropriate care • Community voice • Reliability • High standards = Better outcomes for mothers and babies.
