Doulas for Healthy Outcome for Moms and Babies

1/11/2016

Wonderful to now have U of M research prove the cost-effectiveness of doulas for low-income women. It was my legislation (and Sen. Sandy Pappas') in 2007 that gave all mothers the right to have a doula with them in childbirth, set up a certification registry, and pushed toward MA coverage, along with my legislation in 2013 that made that happen. So glad to support healthy outcomes for moms and babies.

Check out the StarTribune article "Doulas offer safety, cost savings, University of Minnesota study finds" by Jeremy Olson for more information and a short video about what a Doula is.
