Tell Congress - We're one pink slip away from disaster!

Rate Your Doctor, Midwife and Place-of-Birth at The Birth Survey

February 6, 2009
Imagine this: a user-friendly website where, with free and easy access, mothers who have given birth within the last three years provide detailed feedback about their birth experiences at the one end, and parents-to-be will soon be able to retrieve the pooled reporting on local providers and facilities at the other end, all anonymously and nationwide.
