“Since 1986, across more than 50 communities in more than 20 states, hc one's efforts have helped healthier babies be born with fewer c-sections, fewer epidurals, achieve higher breastfeeding rates, and expand support for mothers and families in the crucial first few months of a child's life. Our programs have also generated resources and created jobs in local communities. The first formally recognized community-based doula training program in the united states, hc one works in close partnership with community organizations, hospitals, and clinics, to jointly design programs that provide support for mothers before, during, and after birth and to train community members to run them.
