“Since 1986, healthconnect one transforms how babies are born and cared for in their first months of life. We partner primarily with low-income communities and communities of color across the country to co-design programs and initiatives that effectively support parents and babies in every part of their lives - because we understand that community members are the best experts on their families and neighborhoods. Our work puts people in touch with their own strengths, their own skills, and a sense of personal and collective power. Healthconnect one trains community health workers. Focused on strengthening community-led support for prenatal families, hc one worked jointly with caseworkers and home visitors to listen to the challenges families are facing, and frame breastfeeding support from a strength-based approach. Healthconnect one mobilizes diverse stakeholders. Presenting at the families usa health action conference, on a panel entitled "promising state and local strategies to improve the health of women of color", hc one discussed the power of transformation from community-based doula trainings. Healthconnect one jointly creates programs. Hc one's community-based doula program was recognized by amchp as the 2017 best practice! Amchp's innovation station highlighted that community-based doula programs demonstrated some immediate cost savings and suggested additional long-term cost savings in the following areas: higher breastfeeding rates lead to both short- and long-term-cost savings for both mother and baby in the form of avoided illness and chronic disease. Over the long term, the cost of suboptimal breastfeeding in the united states is estimated to be $13 billion per year for pediatric costs and an additional $18.3 billion per year in maternal health costs. Each avoided epidural provides $607 in medical care savings, and each avoided c-section provides $4,459 in medical care savings based on medicare costs. Healthconnect one facilitates community-led change. Hc one co-led racial equity training and acted on the local, state, and national levels to dismantle structural racism and build a sense of community and common ground. Healthconnect one engages communities in equitable ways that are sustainable. Hc one took the first step in implementing the doula mapping and funding research policy recommendations in collaboration with childbirth connection/national women's law center, by submitting in february, 2017, a new topic nomination for community-based doula to acog's women's preventive services initiative for consideration for inclusion in the guidelines for recommended services. Hc one has continued intensive work with current partners, including the united states breastfeeding committee (usbc), and has concretized more formal partnerships with the national association of peer and professional lactation supporters of color (napplsc), the healthy children center for breastfeeding, heartland alliance, and safelyfed usa with over a dozen policy statement collaborations and sign-ons across the country in support of access to parent and child services and equitable policies. For 30 years - across more than 50 communities in 20 states - these efforts have resulted in healthier babies born with fewer c-sections, increased breastfeeding rates, and mothers and families receiving expanded support in the crucial first months of a child's life.”
