REGISTRATION OPEN ? Doulas and Perinatal Community Health Workers in Medicaid Learning Series (Session 1)

The Institute for Medicaid Innovation (IMI) and Every Mother Counts (EMC) are launching a national learning series centered on community-based doula care and perinatal community health workers (CHWs). The learning series, developed with support from the Community Health Acceleration Partnership (CHAP), aims to support the creation and strengthening of pathways for Medicaid stakeholders ? including Medicaid agencies and health plans, provider groups, and professional associations ? to expand access to quality, respectful, and equitable maternity care. The series will consist of eight (8), free 60-minute web-based learning sessions. These sessions will broaden participants? awareness of community-based doula and perinatal CHW support and provide evidence supporting the benefits, cost-effectiveness, and potential to improve health equity of these services in Medicaid. In addition, the learning series will provide a roadmap for Medicaid stakeholders to explore next steps.
