We are proud to offer delivery options across several trusted locations in Whatcom County, ensuring that you have access to high-quality, compassionate care wherever your birth journey leads.

Our delivery settings include:

• St. Joseph Medical Center (Bellingham): For those who prefer or require a hospital setting, Dr. Dowling provides labor and delivery care at St. Joseph Medical Center.

• Bellingham Birth Center: A welcoming, peaceful, home-like environment where Licensed Midwife Beth Arcese provides labor and delivery care in a community setting.

• Home Birth: For families who desire the intimacy and comfort of home, Beth Arcese provides comprehensive care and support before, during, and after birth.

Throughout your pregnancy, Dr. Dowling and Beth work closely together to support your care — regardless of how your needs or preferences evolve along the way. Our integrated model ensures you remain surrounded by the care team you know and trust, no matter where your story leads.

To support continuity after birth, we also provide referrals for pediatric and primary care, helping you and your baby transition smoothly into the next stage of care.
