Rainier Valley Midwives

About South Seattle Women’s Health Foundation

The South Seattle Women’s Health Foundation is dedicated to creating spaces for high quality,

individualized perinatal and aligned healthcare, education, and support for families living in

typically underserved communities through the vehicle of community-based clinics.

Foundational work includes increasing capacity within the community for jobs in the healthcare

industry for local women, especially those of color and immigrant women. We were founded in

2015 and are a 501c3 non-profit organization. We use global strategies that are proven to

reduce costs and improve the quality of care. We teach life skills, health, childbirth and

parenting education classes in clinic and in the community to promote healthcare navigation

skills and use of community resources and partners to achieve optimal well-being.

Rainier Valley Midwives (RVM) is our midwifery clinic dedicated to providing comprehensive

perinatal care in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team. Our clinic provides wrap around

midwifery services, childbirth educators, doulas, lactation experts, and other perinatal

professionals.
