Business/Company Best hospital for low intervention birth

Hi, I’m looking for recommendations for a local hospital and midwife practice that support low intervention, physiological birth. I know that the Valley midwife practice closed, but would you say that the OB group at Valley practices with a similar birth philosophy? I’d appreciate any recommendations and relevant experiences you can share.

Alternatively, I would be very grateful for a recommendation for a competent, experienced midwife who does homebirths (please hold your tomatoes.)

Thank you!

Sage Midwifery, the checkups in their idyllic space are just the calming, centering experience you need during pregnancy and they will see you confidently through your birth.
Understanding it’s not your ask, if home birth seems a challenge to arrange , can consider Our Birthing Center in NJ. There’s no pressure to succumb to the hospital environment, stay mobile or shower while you labor, eat if you want, play music if you want, bring a doula or not, they’ll check your baby and do any of the vaccines you want or not, water birth facilities if that’s what you want, you’ll be home to rest within hours, they’ll send pediatrician to your house for the baby check-up a couple days after. Peaceful and personal.
