Morning Star Birth Center Fax Number — Consults and Transfers of Care
Faxing a consult or a transfer of care to or from Morning Star Birth Center? A birth center collaborates with an obstetrician and transfers care when a pregnancy risks out — this page shows how that works. Morning Star Birth Center is a freestanding birth center in Duluth, Minnesota, providing midwife-led prenatal care, labor, and birth for low-risk pregnancies, with newborn care and postpartum follow-up in the upper Midwest. Because a transfer packet carries protected health information, this guide covers both where to send it and how to keep the transmission compliant.
Morning Star Birth Center Fax Number
Ask Morning Star Birth Center's front desk or records staff for the current fax number
Hours: A birth center holds prenatal visits during weekday clinic hours while a midwife is on call around the clock for labor, so the front desk receives a fax during business hours and the records staff who process release requests work a narrower window.

How a risk-out reaches the collaborating OB from Morning Star Birth Center
A transfer from Morning Star Birth Center — non-emergent for a risk factor, or during labor — carries the prenatal record and the reason for transfer so the OB or hospital picks up care with the full history. A complete packet in one fax means the receiving team is not chasing history mid-transfer. Flag an urgent transfer on the cover sheet so it is not treated as routine.
When a client transfers care to Morning Star Birth Center
Establishing care at Morning Star Birth Center usually begins with a prenatal-records transfer: the previous office faxes the pregnancy chart so the midwife can pick up care with the full history. Flag anything the prior provider was following — a positive screen, say — so the midwife picks it up. Keep the confirmation so the sending office knows the prenatal record arrived.
