Your perinatal patients might be eligible for no-cost doula services.
A doula provides physical and emotional support before, during, and after birth. Women who enroll in doula services are more likely to have a good birth experience and better outcomes.
As you assess the clinical needs of your patients, please consider referring eligible members to the L.A. County AAIMM Doula Program.
Eligibility:
- Black and African American pregnant women
- Must live in South Los Angeles, the South Bay, Antelope Valley or San Fernando Valley
- Clients are welcome at any stage of pregnancy
