Welcome to ICAN of Northern Virginia. The International Cesarean Awareness Network, Inc. (ICAN), is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve maternal-child health by preventing unnecessary cesareans through education, providing support for cesarean recovery, and promoting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC)

We try to meet on the third Wednesday of every month at 7pm (Fairfax City)... or the third Saturday of the month (Springfield) however we often have trouble booking our "regular" time and location. Please make sure you also check our meetings page to find the next meeting time and location.(click here for location and directions).

Consider joining ICAN or making a donation today (to join, please see Membership Info page)
