Birth Center in Lincoln

If you think health care should be more comforting than clinical, the CHI Health Birth center at Lincoln is where you’ll find expert care with a personal touch.

Formerly known as the Good Life Birth Place, CHI Health Birth Center is staffed by certified nurse midwives who offer a holistic approach for women who wish a more natural and personal approach to the birthing process. Women who choose to labor at the CHI Health Birth Center at Lincoln prefer less medical intervention and a more home-like environment.

While the birthing experience is the centerpiece of the CHI Health Birth Center at Lincoln, midwife care is for every stage of a woman’s care. Midwives journey with women for a lifetime, from Pap smears and breast exams to navigating the challenges of menopause.

This unique facility specifically for midwife care maintains a close connection with CHI Health St. Elizabeth and is licensed by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
