G.R.O.W
Doula

The Healthy Start Doula program provides continuous physical, emotional and informational support to a mother before, during and shortly after childbirth, to help her achieve the healthiest, most satisfying experience possible. The Healthy Start Doula program, using the G.R.O.W. Doula model, improves local maternal and child health systems of care.

 

The goal of the program is to increase community health literacy and improve outcomes among participating families by addressing factors that contribute to fetal death, infant and maternal mortality and morbidity. The program acknowledges that all families should have access to Doula care.
