The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country. Even more alarming: Black women experience the highest rate by far—nearly 2.5x that of white women. ‼️ This is not just a health issue—it’s a crisis. 💜 At Pacify, we are committed to addressing these disparities with accessible doula-led maternal care and virtual lactation support. Through our hybrid wraparound care, we’re working to close these gaps and support every parent on their birthing journey. 📣 As we wrap up #BlackMaternalHealthWeek, it is important to continue to amplify this data to demand better—and advocate for care that’s compassionate, accessible, and culturally informed. #BMHW25 #BlackMaternalHealth #MaternalHealth #DoulaCare

Postpartum complications are a major driver of maternal morbidity, readmissions, and long-term health risks—yet many are preventable with the right support. Research shows that women who received doula care had 57.5% lower odds of postpartum complications. The impact of continuous, personalized maternity care goes beyond delivery: ✔️ Better postpartum recovery with fewer hospital readmissions ✔️ Lower risk of complications like hemorrhage and infection ✔️ Improved mental health outcomes, reducing postpartum depression and anxiety For payers and providers, integrating doula-led support isn’t just about better outcomes—it’s about reducing avoidable healthcare costs and improving patient satisfaction. Let’s make high-quality postpartum care the standard. Learn more at Pacify.com or reach out to discuss how tech-enabled doula care can strengthen maternal health programs.
