UPMC Magee-Womens to Host Doula Hiring Event for Birth Circle Doula Program in Harrisburg
HARRISBURG, PA. (Sept. 18, 2024) – UPMC Magee-Womens is hosting an open house to hire birthing doulas on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 4 to 8 p.m. in the UPMC Health Sciences Tower at Harrisburg University in Conference Room 211C, 222 Chestnut St., Harrisburg. Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about the new Birth Circle Doula Program at UPMC Harrisburg and take part in onsite interviews with hiring managers.
Doulas are trained health care providers who work with patients throughout their pregnancy, during labor and in the postpartum period to provide physical, emotional and informational support. Research has shown that doula support can lead to shorter labor, fewer cesarean sections and improved bonding between mother and baby, significantly improving birth outcomes and maternal health.
The UPMC Pinnacle Foundation secured a grant from Capital Blue Cross to establish and launch the Birth Circle Doula program in Harrisburg, a critical maternal health initiative with a special focus on under-resourced patients. Hiring and training a diverse group of per diem doulas who represent the community they serve is vitally important to the program's success.
