Cuyahoga County has one of the highest infant death rates in the country and has for the past 50 years, according to First Year Cleveland. For every white baby that died before they turned one, nearly six Black babies died, the organization reported."I felt railroaded, but I was able to stand up and make my own choices," Chaundra Davis said."I remember thinking, 'I know I can make my own choices, but how many women and birthing people don't know.
Restoring Our Own Through Transformation , an organization dedicated to addressing the needs of Black, Brown and women of color, said doulas, specifically perinatal support doulas, can help combat structural racism. That number isn't as high as new data, according to Jessica Roach, CEO of ROOTT, said. It also keeps growing.
Republican state Rep. Tom Brinkman, from Mt. Lookout, agreed, introducing and then getting House Bill 142 to pass the House. The bill was also introduced by former state Rep. Erica Crawley, a Democrat from Columbus, who then took a job as Franklin County commissioner."Access to continuous labor support from a doula is especially vital for birthing people of color," Crawley said in her initial testimony.
He explained that it could allow Ohio to save some money since doula services lead to fewer preterm births, which are expensive for the state.To be eligible for payments under the Medicaid program's coverage of doula services, a doula must have proof of a valid certificate, evidence that they completed that includes numerous types of training and proof of attendance of at least one breastfeeding class, two childbirth classes and two births.
Roach points out that yes, specific services can be reimbursed, but reimbursement rates aren’t clarified. The bill also has a level of training doulas have to go through from specific organizations to become eligible, which could put up additional barriers.
