國家杜拉學習和行動合作​​ 

On February 27, René Mollow, MSN, RN, Deputy Director of Health Care Benefits and Eligibility, represented DHCS as a member of the National Advisory Committee for the planning phase of the Institute for Medicaid Innovation’s (IMI) new project, the National Doula Learning and Action Collaborative. She was invited to participate following her involvement in last year’s IMI learning series about doulas and perinatal community health workers. Through her participation, Medi-Cal’s work has been a great example for programs across the country to follow.

The planning phase for this learning collaborative, funded by the Pritzker Children’s Initiative, will launch an intensive three-year national learning collaborative that will provide structured support, resources, and guidance for state-based teams to increase access to and coverage of doula services for birthing people of color with Medicaid coverage.​​
