Improving Birth Outcomes: Strengthening Awareness of and Support for State and Community Doula Networks

Slide Deck February 4, 2022

However, in many states doula care is not routinely covered by health insurance and doulas aren’t seen as instrumental members of the birthing team. Thus, intentional collective efforts should be made to recognize, promote and compensate doulas for their role in achieving equitable outcomes.
