“Jesse’s role as the doula expert for the clinical design team of our Providence Pregnancy Care Package contributed to a brand new model of care in which doulas are integrated into a healthcare team of Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM’s), Registered Nurses (RNs) and Obstetricians (OB’s). She deftly navigated the initial challenges of this integration with a professional grace and compassion for the team at large. As a lead doula and trainer for the model’s spread we can credit her and her doula team with implementing the highest professional doula support and setting the bar for doulas in our community. It is to her credit that our cultural shift moved from doulas are ‘nice to have’ to ‘must have’ as part of our model of care.”
