Our mission is to support black families and doulas of San Antonio to help counter the high rates of maternal and infant mortality rates in the following three ways:
First by supporting black families throughout their reproductive and postpartum period with financial assistance to doulas and midwifery services.
Secondly, we advocate for affordable options, and better health care, and seek equitable treatment for black families through collaborative and strategic partnerships.
Lastly, we train professional doulas, provide mentorship and create spaces for doulas to be included in healthcare panels.

About Doula [U]
With the help of seed funding from our partners March of Dimes, President Quanisha McGruder and Vice President DeAnna Vonbartheld created a program that combines birth and postpartum doula training along with mentorship to increase the number of community doulas who are equipped with skills, tools, and networking opportunities to help our overall mission of decreasing the maternal and infant mortality rates, especially among black families. We hope to integrate this course in colleges and universities to spread the word about doulas and provide an opportunity to graduate with this certification.
