[O]ne of the most vexing problems in U.S. maternity care is that low-income women, who have among the worst reproductive health outcomes in this country, also have limited access to outside birthing support...In other words, those who stand to benefit the most from doula care are the least likely to be able to afford it. Bridging the gap between a sustainable income for birth professionals and offering support to those most in need is one of our most pressing challenges in the struggle to improve birth outcomes. Organizations like this one are funded through various means to help bridge that gap, with truly remarkable outcomes. Do you know of any organizations like this in your area? How can we support them in order to improve outcomes for vulnerable populations?
