Duluth, MN — St. Luke’s Hospital of Duluth will develop and test a new model of a subsidized doula program that is integrated into a hospital system that serves a rural population. This model removes barriers to doula care and builds up the doula workforce while targeting BIPOC needs. This six-year project will include program development, implementation, capacity building, and evaluation and learning components. The ultimate aim of this work is to address rural health care disparities and spread a model that elevates the doula profession.
