Oula’s Post

Thank you to Anu Duggal for her impactful feature in Fortune today, shedding light on the long-standing neglect and underfunding of women's health, and the shift in attention that is now underway. Honored for Oula and our co-founders, Adrianne Nickerson and Elaine Purcell, to be included alongside visionaries such as Kate Ryder and Maven Clinic, as we champion a transformative approach to maternity care, where patients are at the center. Excited for all that's to come! https://lnkd.in/gq-YWb6n

“We believe that by improving the experience of pregnancy and childbirth, we can improve health outcomes. In the past three years, we’ve delivered 1500 babies — including two of my own — reduced c-sections by 30%, and have 50% fewer preterm births than local and national averages. These statistics prove that our hypothesis is true.” Our Oula Co-founder and COO, Elaine Purcell, spoke with Chasm Partners as part of Chasm Conversations, a series honoring Women’s Health Month, about all things women's healthcare. She touches on her personal journey into healthcare, how Oula is improving the pregnancy and birth experience while improving outcomes, and what she hopes for the future of maternity care.

🌸 Introducing Oula Postpartum Circles: Where we move through the realness of postpartum, together 🌸 LinkedIn Community, There is such powerful conversation on LinkedIn around supporting birth people through pregnancy, leave, and beyond. We’ve seen firsthand - ourselves and through the eyes of Oula families - how beautiful, yet hard and isolating postpartum can be. Because your support system is so critical during this vulnerable time, we couldn’t be more excited to announce the launch of Oula Postpartum Circles, a safe space for new mothers to learn and connect as they experience the beautiful chaos of postpartum. Crafted by Oula experts and led by a postpartum doula, Circles offer an expert-led, 8-week virtual experience with topics designed for the postpartum journey. Members with similar due dates share in weekly virtual gatherings, a connected 24/7 community chat, and have access to the tools and resources that take the loneliness and guesswork out of the fourth trimester. This offering is open to all patients & non-patients due in 2024. We created this experience because moms need moms. Feeling supported and connected to experts and other mothers during the first few weeks after giving birth can change the course of one’s postpartum experience.
