OUR HISTORY

When Jolene first moved to Colorado Springs she was shocked there wasn’t a Free-Standing Birth Center in The Springs because Denver had already had one for so long. She felt like there was a real need for one in the community – citing the lack of options women in the Springs have for giving birth – and so in Jan 2017 Jolene decided to take the step towards opening Beginnings Birth Center. It was important to Jolene that the Birth Center be located close to a hospital if a need should arise to do something quickly, but wanted to offer an option for birth uninhibited and without all the red tape that you have to go through at a hospital.

OUR MISSION

The Birth Center’s primary GOAL is to always attend to a woman wherever she wants to and feels safest and most supported giving birth. Right now those options include giving birth at the birth center. Down the road, however, the plan is to get hospital privileges as well so that if the need were to arise for a woman to be transferred to the nearby hospital, the Beginnings Birth Center CNM’s would be able to remain as their patients primary care provider.

OUR TEAM

The Beginnings Birth Center team is lead by Jolene Hamann and staffs two other Certified Nurse Midwives, Amy Burgess & a new, special CNM to be announced soon and joining our team Fall 2018.

THE BIRTH CENTER

Our certified nurse midwives and registered nurses will take care of you through every stage of your pregnancy, delivery, and recovery. You have access to a variety of luxury amenities to help you during your delivery process, including spa-like birthing suites and even custom waterbirth tubs. At the birth center, you also have the option of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, as a tool to help through labor.
