Ida Mae Patterson Center for Maternal and Infant Wellness

The Ida Mae Patterson Center for Maternal and Infant Wellness, located in Liberty, MO, is dedicated to transforming the prenatal experience for African-American childbearing individuals and their families through the Village Circle Approach™. Our innovative Community-Embedded Group Prenatal Care is tailored to support and empower care participants in a culturally validating environment. We foster supportive cohorts where enrolled pregnant clients engage in perinatal education, informed consent, and community nurturing, all aimed at dismantling the harmful impacts of racism in prenatal care. Our commitment to clinical excellence and client autonomy is at the heart of what we do. Additionally, our professional doulas provide essential physical and emotional support throughout labor and birth, ensuring that every client feels respected and celebrated during their journey into motherhood.
