Although we aim primarily at families who would not otherwise have access to doula care, we do offer doulas to anyone giving birth at the UC San Diego Medical Center. Because the Hearts & Hands Program is an all-volunteer, on-call program we cannot offer a 100% guarantee of a doula for every family. However, there are also options in San Diego for privately hiring a birth or postpartum doula who may offer additional services at UC San Diego or other birth locations in the area. Expectant families should interview several doulas before selecting one who best fits their needs.
Tip: Thinking of hiring a private birth or postpartum doula?
