As more hospitals across the country shut down their maternity wards, a Sutter Health-owned hospital in Berkeley has taken proactive steps to ensure it can continue providing care for the pregnant people in its community. The hospital partnered with Millie, a Berkeley-based startup offering hybrid maternal care from midwives and doulas.
At a time when AI is reshaping pharma, Reverba Global CEO Cheryl Lubbert explained in an interview why empathy, context, and ethics still require a human touch.
A recent peer-reviewed study from Maven Clinic found that virtual doulas significantly reduced the chances of a C-section, especially among Black mothers.
