Held

Safe Passage: Pennsylvania Maternal Care Summit 2026

Saturday, September 26, 2026 · Shalom Mennonite School, Terre Hill, Lancaster County

One day connecting hospital, birth center, and home birth care to shape an integrated care model for Pennsylvania: a shared care framework, real transfer protocols, and a plan for a mother's information to travel with her.

  • What each provider is trained to do
  • Transfers between home, birth center and hospital
  • What information travels with a mother
  • Informed consent and informed refusal
  • Pennsylvania's maternity care deserts

The summit was held as planned. Four working tables marked up Washington State's published transfer guidelines and produced the first written standard in Pennsylvania for what happens when a woman's care moves from home or a birth center into a hospital. That framework is with its contributors for signature and publishes later this month. Inquiries are welcome.
