Expanding equitable access to doula services for underserved families in Nevada

We are building a powerful, diverse, and sustainable Doula presence to address systemic disparities affecting underserved communities in Nevada through education, advocacy, research, and community engagement.

Birth Doula Services Covered by Medicaid

The DOULA CO-OP has partnered with Medicaid insurance providers, Molina Healthcare and Health Plan of Nevada, to provide Birth Doula services at no cost to their pregnant members.

Doula

[doo·la] A Doula refers to a person who provides emotional, physical & educational support throughout a pregnancy, birth & the early postpartum period.

Why the DOULA CO-OP?

Through our CO-OP, you have access to the collective knowledge of experienced Doulas & other birth professionals, all working together to provide the best care for pregnant people & parents in Nevada.

By working cooperatively, we uplift each other as well as the communities where we live & serve.

  • “I can honestly say that I had my dream birth and it wouldn’t have been the same if [my doula] wasn’t there with me every step of the way.”

  • Having a doula at my birth was definitely a game-changer.... My doula was my biggest support during my pregnancy and birth and she helped me feel much more comfortable and knowledgeable about birth and the process!

  • “I am not always the best at voicing my opinion or advocating for myself to doctors or hospital staff. [Our doula] made me feel very confident and in control the whole time.”
