We want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible work our founding staff have done under the Advancing Equity in Maternal and Child Health Grant Program. The dedication and tireless efforts have been instrumental in supporting Maternal and Child Health initiatives across Wisconsin.

Thanks to their hard work, we have been able to create a membership base for the association in which we bring together not only doulas and hold an inaugural conference in Madison this past April.

These milestones have been made possible through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and Title V funds provided by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, is a critical step toward advancing equity and sustainability in our community.

The positive outcomes we are beginning to see would not be possible without your expertise, passion, and commitment.

Thank you for your unwavering support and for being an essential part of this vital initiative.
