Personalized Care, focused on Mom, after giving birth
We are a non-profit dedicated to maternal care and advocacy. Our Mission is to reduce maternal death by providing inclusive healthcare to all women during and after pregnancy. Our Services, known as MOM CARE, include advocacy, counseling, and education for pregnant, postpartum, and women affected by pregnancy or infant loss. We specialize in the postpartum period and emphasize healing for the mind, body, and spirit ... the whole person.
Preventable Problem for Women
In the United States, we have the worst maternal mortality rates of all high-income countries and it is getting worse each year. Most women die in the postpartum period! 84% of deaths are due to preventable causes.)
Bigger Problem for BIPOC Women
Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) die at 3-4 times the rate of others, and this rate is increasing exponentially each year.
- 22% of deaths occur during pregnancy
- 25% occur at delivery to within 7 days
- 53% occur 7 days to 1 year after pregnancy
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022)
Here are a few reasons why this is happening:
Patient not being heard or listened to
Healthcare provider bias
Lack of insurance
Lack of skilled providers
Lack of family support
Patient uneducated about health problems
Patient self-advocacy not effective
Lack of consistent training for emergencies
No healthcare advocate, liason, or doula
Micro-aggressions lead to chronic health changes
Our MOM CARE process empowers women to beat these odds:
STEP 1
Receive a referral for Mom from a family or one of our partner Health Care Providers (HCPs).
STEP 2
Visit with Mom in the early postpartum period to assess her and Baby's progress (within 2 weeks).
STEP 3
Perform a comprehensive physical and mental health assessment. Educate Mom, provide services, personal care supplies, and referrals as needed.
STEP 4
Be a liaison between Mom and her HCP. Support Mom by advocating, empowering and educating for a year or more.
