Maternity care is evolving — and doulas are playing a growing role in that shift. Doula-friendly hospitals are seeing improved maternal health outcomes, greater patient satisfaction, and a more supported care team, all without adding clinical burden or direct staffing costs.

The Missouri Perinatal Quality Collaborative is launching a Doula Integration Community of Practice for OB units, OB-GYN clinics, primary care clinics, and FQHCs ready to champion doula integration from pregnancy through the first year postpartum.

📅 Kickoff meeting: Thursday, October 22

Today, October 15, is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

We remember the babies who were loved and lost through miscarriage, stillbirth, newborn death and infant death. We hold their parents, siblings, grandparents, and families in our hearts.

If you've lost a baby: your love is real, your grief is valid, and you don't have to carry it alone. There is no timeline for this kind of loss.

If someone you love has been through it: you don't need perfect words. "I'm thinking of [baby's name]" or "I'm here" means more than you might realize.

🕯️ Join the Wave of Light tonight at 7:00 p.m. Light a candle and place it where it can be seen, in a window or on a porch, to join a continuous wave of remembrance around the world. Share your light with .

To the families remembering today: we see you, and we are holding your babies' memories with you. 💛

Dr. Elizabeth Bostock has taken the stage for the final keynote of the MO PQC Maternal & Infant Symposium, sharing a team-based approach to reducing cesarean sections in "Rowing in the Same Direction."

Through practical strategies and real-world examples, attendees are exploring how alignment across labor and delivery teams can support evidence-based decision-making, improve collaboration, and advance better outcomes for mothers and babies.

We're looking forward to carrying these conversations into the remainder of today's sessions.
