What We Do
2022 Progress on CHIP
A key strategy of Mothering Asheville has been to support the growth and sustainability of Sistas Caring 4 Sistas (SC4S). SC4S a group of Black community-based doulas supporting primarily Black women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum who aim to eradicate disparities in maternal and infant mortality by providing education and doula services to families who face financial barriers and stigmas. SC4S has demonstrated positive impact in improving birth outcomes in their patient population and has cultivated significant community support and leadership presence. While SC4S has been providing services in Buncombe County for several years, the contract associated with the CHIP performance metrics is set to launch in Spring 2023.
