A new $10 million grant is aimed at expanding access to doulas, midwives and community care providers across Kentucky, as advocates call for a broad overhaul of maternity care. The funding comes through the Healthy Moms, Healthy Babies America campaign. Its stated goal is to bolster care options statewide, including support from providers who work with families in their communities. The announcement highlights Norton Healthcare’s doula program, which has been operating for five years. The available details do not specify how the grant will be distributed, which organizations will receive funding or when expanded services are expected to begin. Doulas provide nonmedical support during pregnancy, labor and the postpartum period, while midwives provide pregnancy and childbirth care. Expanding access to both, along with community-based providers, is part of the effort advocates describe as a maternity care overhaul.
