monthly meeting
Birth Support Network gathers at Alma Midwifery (1608
Southeast Ankeny Street, Portland, OR 97214) from
7:00pm to 9:00pm on the second Monday of each month. We come
together to connect, collaborate, encourage, and network with one
another--and learn and grow professionally. Our monthly
meetings include a featured topic and several educational speakers each
year. Although we encourage membership to anyone who feels
akin to our mission, our meetings are open to everyone.
