Thank you! ?? You joined us in imagining a brighter future for Washington, DC and took bold steps to make that vision a reality. Your presence at Night of Hope: IMAGINE made this year’s event unforgettable, and we are so grateful to each of you! As we reflect on the magic of the evening, we’re moved by the powerful words of our client speaker, Tytiana Johnson, who shared, “The most significant thing that Community of Hope has done for me is giving me the support to break the cycle of instability.” With the generosity of so many sponsors, host committee, and donors we help our 20,000 community members on similar journeys. We are especially delighted to honor a long-term board member, Maria Weber, with the Tom Nees Award for Exceptional Service. Together, we created impactful change by showing up, imagining BIG, and building a more equitable DC! ??? Check out the full photo album on our website! ?? #NightOfHope #ImagineDC #CommunityOfHope

Washington DC has only one free-standing birth center and only one place on the entire eastern half of the city where a person may give birth. Community of Hope’s Family Health and Birth Center is unique! There are too few birth centers embedded in the holistic care of a Federally Qualified Health Center. Our patients get comprehensive support—from prenatal to postnatal care—with experienced midwives and providers by your side and they are connected to primary medical care, dental and emotional wellness for the whole family! Join us in lifting up birth centers around our nation who are helping families experience healthy beginnings! #FamilyHealthandBirthCenter #FHBC #CommunityofHope #BirthCenter #MidwiferyCare #CommunitySupport #DCHealth #HealthyFamilies #BCW24 #BirthCenterWeek2024 #BirthCenter #BirthCenterEquity #GrowBirthCenters #GrowCommunity
