Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alternative birthing centers are wellness-oriented childbirth facilities. These facilities are located near an acute care hospital in the event a physician is needed for the birthing process. Alternative birthing centers do not promote nor condone any specific action such as breastfeeding. Because a birthing center is located near a hospital, they are safer than home deliveries.
