The History of ICAN

The International Cesaeran Network is a non-profit organization founded by Ester Booth Zorn in June of 1982. ICAN has a threefold purpose:

• to lower the cesarean rate through education,

• to provide a forum where women and men can express their thoughts and concerns about birth, and

• to provide a support network for women who are healing from past birth experiences and those who are preparing for future births.
