Skyrocketing malpractice insurance forced the center to close its doors with little warning to the staff and to the devastation of the community.[2] Since its closure, Manhattan has been left without a birth center, a truly ironic tragedy since Manhattan was the home of first birth center in the United States, the Childbearing Center opened by the Maternity Center Association in 1975.[3] The Elizabeth Seton Childbearing Center opened in St. Vincent's after the Childbearing Center closed in 1996. The New Space for Women's Health is no longer a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in New York City, its doors were closed in February 2010. PhilosophyPreviously the facility's About Us page described how the foundation uses the Midwives Model of Care, which is based on the premise that when fully informed, women should be trusted to make responsible choices about their health.
"The American healthcare system is increasingly dependent upon medical interventions to address what is, most often, a normal and safe physiological process," says Rebecca Benghiat, executive director of the New Space for Women's Health. "Women are demanding a change and corporations are looking for a more financially viable model. The New Space is both of those, safe and empowering and economically feasible."[4] Plan for the Birth CenterThese plans have been canceled in light of the fact that NSWH closed its doors in February 2010.
