As part of Community Doula Week (March 29 – April 5), the Georgia Community Doula Coalition (GCDC) is honored to host a Community Doula Convening & Mixer in Southwest Georgia (SOWEGA) on April 3rd in Albany, GA.

This regional activation is part of our broader commitment to building a connected, statewide doula ecosystem—one that is rooted in community voice, regional representation, and shared strategy. We are intentionally creating space to engage with doulas, maternal and child health (MCH) partners, and community leaders in SOWEGA to ensure that this region is meaningfully included as we advance policy, workforce development, and systems change across Georgia.

GBDN on the news 🖤✨

For years, doula care in Georgia hasn’t been covered by insurance, limiting access for families and sustainability for doulas. That’s starting to change.

With companies like UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Elevance Health expanding coverage, this moment could shift everything.

As our founder Sekesa Berry shared, this is about sustainability, creating real pathways for doulas to thrive and expanding opportunities for hospitals and organizations to truly integrate doula care.

More access. More support. A stronger future for maternal health.
