Bill > HR930

This resolution recognizes March 29 to April 5, 2025, as Georgia Community-Based Doula Week, highlighting the critical role of community-based doulas in supporting mothers during childbirth. The resolution emphasizes that doulas provide continuous emotional and physical support during labor and delivery, drawing on their specialized training and lived experiences to guide birthing persons through the childbirth process. It underscores how community-based doulas, who often share commonalities with the families they serve, work alongside medical professionals to improve outcomes in underserved communities, address maternal health disparities, and provide informational support during the transition to parenthood. By recognizing these healthcare professionals, the resolution aims to acknowledge their important work in creating positive childbirth experiences and helping to improve birth and infant health outcomes across Georgia. Additionally, the resolution directs the House of Representatives' Clerk to make copies of the resolution available for public and press distribution.
