We’re proud to support this doula training through our Community Grants program! Check out the video below to learn more. UMass Memorial Medical Center
The Diversifying Doulas Initiative is a tradememarked doula training program of Patients R Waiting Since 2020 we have been training Doulas and launching them into support of families. This work began as conversations about our feelings of futility as OBGYNS in the #maternalhealthcrisis Dr. Sharee Livingston and Dr. Cherise Murphy talked, planned and plotted on how they could make a difference. Thankfully, like always, Dr. L was well connected with amazing people. Amazing people like Rae Johnson-Bundy, Pam Lilith, CNM, and Wendy Trees MS, CD(DONA), CLC, FACCE, LCCE, LEC were there in the very beginning, plotting and planning with us. We got initial support from The Lancaster County Community Foundation, Touchstone Foundation and later UPMC Pinnacle Foundation and Jewish Healthcare Foundation to make our Lancaster program robust, impactful and reproducible. Now DDI is on the move!!! Cohort 5 is based in Worcester, MA. With support from UMass Memorial Medical Center, 14 Worcester community members were selected to become DDI trainees. They went through rigorous training with Doula Right Thing Services, LLC. for 8 weeks. They had their hands on training with NIKIA LAWSON, Doula trainer for DONA International and they will continue to have the PRW community to support them. The UMass Memorial Health Doula Program is focused on improving the outcomes and experiences of Black birthing people at UMass Memorial Health. Massachusetts Medicaid (MassHealth) covers doula services and about 40% of all births in Massachusetts are covered by Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. By starting with those most impacted, UMass hopes to see measurable impact. PRW is thankful to UMass for seeing the vision and engaging PRW to train up their doula workforce. We would like to thank the The Iacocca Family Foundation, Shields Foundation, The New Commonwealth Fund Fund & Greater Worcester Community Foundation for their generous support of the UMass Memorial Health Doula Program. https://lnkd.in/erjwsbsx #healthequity #blackmaternalhealth #igiveextra #diversifyingdoulasinitiative
