The Gorge Birth Network was created to help families of the Columbia River Gorge have a safe, positive and joyous birth experience. The Network is dedicated to promoting mother and family friendly maternity care and healthy families. We realize that the Columbia River Gorge is a diverse and culturally rich community. And with that comes a wide spectrum of philosophies and practices regarding pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. Our goal as a web resource is to share with the community the myriad of perinatal information and resources available in the Gorge -- from the traditional to the alternative and everything in between. www.gorgebirthnetwork.com
