The Scarborough Hospital’s birth doula program is a ground-breaking initiative that allows more families to hire a doula and experience the powerful difference that comes with a doula’s care. Founded in 2010, this program is open to all women who plan to deliver at either campus of the Scarborough Hospital. Clients who register are charged a fee based on their family income, with rates ranging from $100-$500 – less than half the cost to hire a doula privately in our current market!
Team members of the birth doula program are scheduled to be on call, so whenever you go into labour you call your doula on call for support. Your doula will provide continuous care and support from the time you call until an hour or two after your baby is born, including helping with your baby’s initial feed.
I am proud to be a member of this doula team, and if you are planning to deliver at The Scarborough Hospital, I encourage you to see if the program is a good fit for your needs! In order to keep costs affordable and be accessible to as many families as possible, doula support in this program does not include prenatal visits or postpartum support beyond the time that immediately follows the birth.
For comprehensive support leading up to and after birth, you will want to hire a doula privately. All my packages are fully customizable and I can accommodate you according to your needs and priorities.
