"Not only have women of color endured generations of inequities in the health care system, but today they are dying at alarming rates during childbirth," said TrueCare President and CEO Michelle D. Gonzalez. TrueCares doula program will help remove barriers to maternal health care by offering women and families supportive pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum services. "Adding a doula program to TrueCares wellness services reinforces the organizations mission of providing comprehensive, affordable, and culturally sensitive health care options. "We have plans to launch programming to enhance culturally humble maternity care through this new and unique service not typically offered at a community health center.
