Doula support during the prenatal, delivery and post-partum periods can improve maternal health outcomes and having a positive impact on many of those conditions that contribute to maternal mortality. Research has shown that doula support can decrease the rate of c-sections and increase the likelihood of breastfeeding. Additionally doula support can decrease the rates of postpartum depression and anxiety, two contributors of pregnancy related deaths in Florida.
Please join us on Tuesday, March 26, 11:30 a.m. ET, to learn more about the role of Doulas; reimbursement for Doula services; and Integrating Doulas into the delivery process and care team.
