Dr. Mitchell Katz describes ongoing and planned renovations to create more welcoming birthing centers in Health + Hospitals facilities. He highlights the support received from the Brooklyn Borough President and the goals of these renovations. Key points include:
- The Brooklyn Borough President has allocated funds for renovations at Kingswood Hall and South Brooklyn
- H+H is creating low-tech areas for normal vaginal deliveries
- The goal is to create less institutional, more beautiful spaces for birthing
- These renovations align with the broader initiative to support doula-based interventions and improve birthing experiences
- The creation of dedicated birthing centers represents a shift towards more patient-centered, comfortable maternity care environments

And we think having low tech areas for women who are having normal vaginal deliveries is a very positive step, and we want more beautiful and also just sort of less institutional spaces.

And the money he's given us will allow us to create these birthing centers.
