who we are
Every Parent Deserves Access
Birth Buddy is a comprehensive community-driven maternal and child health resource directory to help connect families with accessible, high-quality services. We serve expecting and new parents —especially those facing financial or access barriers to healthcare. Our goal is to empower these communities by providing them with information and connections to essential services.
With families in mind, we carefully curated our listings in collaboration with maternal and child health professionals, community leaders, and public health experts. This ensures that the resources we share are trustworthy, relevant, and culturally sensitive. We focus on inclusivity so families from all backgrounds can find support that meets their unique needs.
Our Mission & Vision
At Births Count, our mission is to empower women and families by providing accessible, high-quality healthcare resources and support. We are dedicated to improving maternal and child health outcomes by addressing health inequities, fostering education, and building a compassionate care network that serves every family, regardless of income or background.
We envision a world where every woman and child has access to the care and support they need to thrive. By addressing barriers to healthcare access and fostering a greater sense of community, we aim to create a future where maternal and child health are universally prioritized and celebrated.
