Plain-English Summary

The legislation would provide federal funding to support doulas—trained birth coaches who offer emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, and delivery—with a focus on serving low-income pregnant people and communities with limited access to maternal care. Doulas would receive training and certification support through grants, and pregnant individuals could access these services at little or no cost. The bill aims to improve maternal health outcomes and reduce disparities in pregnancy and childbirth care.
