Partum Health provides specialized care services for families, focusing on maternal and postpartum health. The company offers a range of services designed to support families' individual needs during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.

Partum Health

Partum Health aspires to close the gap in maternal and infant health outcomes in the US, starting with a radical transformation of postpartum care for women and families with newborns.  We seek to make continuous postpartum care from certified specialists ubiquitous, affordable and expected.

We could not be more excited to be making our big debut in Dallas with our friends at Rosy Wellness! Join us for an incredible important conversation, featuring Melissa Dennis MD MHA FACOG, Lyndsey Harper, MD, FACOG, IF, and Bridget Abraham.

On the heels of last week's groundbreaking legislative news of Gov. JB Pritzker signing into law The Birth Equity Act, requiring Illinois-based health insurance to cover services such as doulas, lactation consultants and midwives, we're proud to announce EMBRACE, Partum Health's first-of-its-kind Doula Training & Certification Program. 

EMBRACE emphasizes Partum's unique approach to doula support in a multidisciplinary care model. In addition to a well rounded, evidence-based understanding of perinatal care and birth justice, our program will also include expert-designed curriculum in the areas of maternal mental health, physical preparation and recovery, nutrition, lactation, LGBTQ+ family support and more. 

This training is poised to support aspiring and practicing doulas as they advance their careers, while working to develop a workforce that will help power the transformation of maternal health care that's underway.

Hey Dallas! We’re excited to announce we’re in your neck of the woods. 

Dallas, Texas is our third market and we look forward to bringing our comprehensive postpartum care model to new families. If you know a provider, hospital, or simply any individual or organization who cares about expanding access to comprehensive perinatal services, we want to meet them! Tag them in the comments below. Let's make maternal care bigger in Texas!

Almost 2,000 families have had doulas when they otherwise wouldn’t because of NYC's Citywide Doula Initiative.

New York City is reporting that doula-assisted births have resulted in more favorable outcomes including lower cesarean and preterm birth rates. It is exciting to see the impact of the program which expands access to families in marginalized neighborhoods for doula assisted births. 

Max Rivera, reporter for THE CITY, also covered the challenges the doulas are facing and getting paid in a timely manner. Reimbursement from the city can take anywhere from two to six months, sometimes more. As more cities and communities expand access to doula care, we are paying attention to the systems put in place and continue to be focused on enhancements in pregnancy and postpartum care.

Whole-person maternal care is on fire! We’re excited to announce that Partum Health is one of Chicago Inno’s 2024 Fire Award honorees. We’re proud to be among this list of 50 change-makers that are driving innovation in the startup scene. 

Our goal has always been to provide comprehensive care and broader access to the essential services pregnant people and their partners need. The fact remains that parents in the U.S. don’t receive the same essential care as our peers abroad, where home visits from postpartum specialists, in-home lactation support, and physical therapy are often standard of care.

Partum was founded to change this reality. 

Being recognized for our efforts by Chicago Inno and Chicago Business Journal and being a 2024 #FireAwards honoree is one way to support our mission and help us set a new standard of care for growing families.

We're committed to broadening access to comprehensive perinatal care to all growing families. With this goal in mind, Partum is proud to announce that our maternal mental health services are now in-network in Texas with United Healthcare and Aetna. This work is a crucial first step in getting all of our interdisciplinary health care services included in-network provider plans with major insurers. 

We are adding UHC and Aetna in Texas to our already established list of in-network clinical providers in Illinois through BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Aetna. Please reach out if you’re interested in partnerships that can further expand access to this crucial work.

We can't wait, Brian Anderson. 

At Partum, we're committed to supporting growing families: birthing *and* non-birthing parents. That's why we're excited to host the first of many conversations geared towards supporting the health of new dads and non-birthing partners with community-driven sessions. At these informal meet-ups, we'll answer questions and offer new and expectant parents a place to connect with others in the same life stage. 

If you're in Chicago, join Partum Health Co-Founder and COO Matthew Rogers next Tuesday, June 25, as we talk about all things #DadLife with Fathering Together's Brian Anderson.

Partum Health is thrilled to be participating in the Illinois Science and Technology Coalition's Executive Founder Series. The ISTC team is doing incredible work to connect founders with executives at leading corporations - meetings that can otherwise take invaluable time and effort for startups to land. Having an organization like ISTC working on your behalf to build connections with large health systems, insurance companies, benefits providers, and more is so meaningful. These relationships are true difference makers for early stage companies. 

Thank you ISTC for supporting the startup ecosystem here in IL! We can't wait to see what unfolds.

“Physicians like to do things that are evidence-based, but we have to get the new evidence from somewhere. Until we have this buy-in to early innovation and we have the funding to do this, we are going to move at a snail’s pace when it comes to changing outcomes.” - Dr. Melissa Dennis MD MHA FACOG, Chief Medical Officer at Partum Health

Say it with us: Investments in women's health research and innovation are CRUCIAL. We can't solve for women's health outcomes without more data on the long-tail effects of changes that occur through different stages of a women's life.
