Established local midwifery practice Philadelphia Midwife Collective (PMC) seeks to open a low-volume, midwife-operated birth center in East Mount Airy unlike anything that exists in the City today! PMC acquired a beautiful fixer-upper home at 245 E Johnson Street (19144) and has applied for a zoning use variance to operate a "group health practice" (i.e., birth center) there. Let's show the Zoning Board of Adjustment that Philly supports the adaptive reuse of this gorgeous building as a community birth center!

Please sign this petition if you support the proposed zoning use variance to convert the existing single-family residence at 245 E Johnson Street, Philadelphia, PA 19144 into a birthing center for prenatal, labor, delivery, and postnatal care – before, during, and up to 12 hours after birth for medically uncomplicated pregnancies.
