ICAN of Huntsville

ICAN of Huntsville

is a chapter of the International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc. (ICAN). Our mission is to improve maternal child health by reducing preventable cesareans, supporting cesarean recovery, and advocating for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). Through donations from the community, we have awarded over 20 grants for parents-in-need to access doula care. We’ve offered education, support, and advocacy in the Tennessee Valley for almost 10 years, and 40 years in the U.S. and Internationally. Our monthly support groups help community members process their trauma while planning for future births, or recovering from a recent birth.

ICAN Professionals

These are a group of local professionals who support ICAN of Huntsville and our mission. We are ever so grateful for their ongoing support.

ICAN has educated me on my rights and the choices I can make in delivery. The leaders and fellow meeting attendants helped me to realize my first birth should not have gone the way it did, and have helped me to heal emotionally from it.
