Willow Midwives

Willow Midwives, a midwifery clinic and birth center located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has announced its closure effective December 30, 2024, due to financial difficulties stemming from inequitable and unsustainable reimbursements from state and private insurance payers. The closure is the second birth center to shut down in Minnesota this year, and Willow Midwives has been working on legislative changes with other birth centers to fight for sustainable payments and ensure the viability of the birth center model of care for Minnesota families.
