Welcome to Pacifica Family Maternity Center
Empowering Families, Nurturing Babies
Pacifica is celebrating our TEN year anniversary,
and Pacifica Family Fund’s FIVE year anniversary!
Pacifica Family Maternity Center (PFMC) is a safe place for low-risk healthy people to receive prenatal, labor/birth, and postpartum midwifery care and is a great alternative to hospital care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
PFMC is a CABC accredited birth center, which means we abide by the highest safety standards and use evidence-based protocols appropriate for community birth. During this pandemic, we are making every effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and have adopted additional prevention measures to ensure everyone's health and safety.
We are currently accepting new clients. To find out more information about our midwifery care and the birth center, please sign up for our virtual tour and Q&A here.
Our experienced midwives focus on the unique needs of each client throughout care. We are dedicated to serving all families regardless of ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, financial barriers, or physical ability.
We honor that Berkeley sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin (Hoo-Choon), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo (Cho-chen-yo) speaking Ohlone people, the successors of the historic and sovereign Verona Band of Alameda County. This land continues to be of great significance to the Ohlone people and we recognize that the Muwekma Ohlone people are alive and flourishing members of the Berkeley and broader Bay Area communities today. By offering this Land Acknowledgment, Pacifica Family Maternity Center affirms Indigenous sovereignty and pays respects to the traditional stewards of this land.
This Statement was adapted from UC Berkeley’s Land Acknowledgement, which was developed in partnership with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe and is a living document.
