Doula to provide stand-alone prenatal and postpartum support, alongside benefits navigation and support from dedicated care coordinators.
2. Care and Case Management:
Doula will collaborate with a multidisciplinary clinical team and contribute to cohesive care plans by providing longitudinal support and education during pregnancy and through postpartum.
The support and education provided is intended to improve outcomes for all members. This role involves ongoing strategic input and innovation to regularly evaluate how we best serve our members and impact outcomes. Both programs are committed to raising the standard of healthcare for all pregnant people.
