Oula

This week, we sparked a conversation about what it means to deliver better maternity care. ✨ Podcaster and mom Cameron Rogers MC'd the evening, getting raw and honest about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with entrepreneur and Oula mom, Hannah Bronfman. 🎤 Oula COO Elaine Purcell shared Oula’s birth story, and our trusted care experts, OBGYN & Associate Medical Director, Shanaye Jeffers, and Midwife & Director of Patient Programs, Casey Selzer, CNM, showed us how to build an integrated birth dream team. We believe you shouldn’t have to choose, and there is no “right” way to give birth. In keeping with this core value, guests were able to participate “their way” by sharing their own birth stories and affirmations with us. We hope this gathering is a springboard for more necessary conversation about what “better” looks like in maternity care. 💯 #womenshealth #maternitycare #pregnancy #birth #postpartum

There is so much power in a birth story. CEO and Co-Founder, Adrianne Nickerson shares Oula's very own here. It started at a moment when she, Oula COO and Co-Founder Elaine Purcell, and CXO Joanne Schneider Demeireles were navigating their own maternity care journeys. 🤰 #LinkedInTopStartups https://lnkd.in/gGPzTcb4. 

🙌 This week, our CEO, Adrianne Nickerson, participated in the Female Founders in Healthcare panel hosted by Female Founders Fund. Exciting to be part of such a powerful lineup of founders and share the stage with other inspiring women. 💪✨

So encouraging to see healthcare, in particular women's health companies like Oula, rise up and be spotlighted on this list TODAY. 👏

We’re honored to share that Oula has been named one of LinkedIn's Top Startups of 2024, for delivering better maternity care before, during and after pregnancy. Congratulations to the entire team! 🎉 As we celebrate this achievement, we take pride in what we’ve accomplished since our launch in 2021. 🌟 Growing beyond a modern maternity clinic to comprehensive maternity & reproductive care - including prenatal and postpartum care, hospital-based delivery, preconception counseling, and gynecology with our trusted team of midwives, OBGYNs and more. 🌟 Consistently delivering better birth outcomes than national and New York averages – fewer C-sections, higher VBAC success rates, and fewer preterm births. 🌟 Developing a strong partnership and delivering more than 1,850 Oula babies with our trusted hospital partner, Mount Sinai West. 🌟 Building and supporting a dedicated, passionate team of 95+ employees. Also an honor to be named alongside other trailblazers in the healthcare space like Midi Health, Headway and Cohere. We are looking forward to more meaningful work and growth into new markets in 2025. If you’re interested in joining a compassionate, dynamic, and innovative team, we’re hiring! #LinkedInTopStartups https://lnkd.in/eN2ynzGM

Gynecology on LinkedIn? Yes, we’re going there! Why?  1️⃣ Because maternal health includes “in-between” and preventative care, along with pregnancy care. 2️⃣ We heard from our birthing patients that they wanted to stay in our care beyond pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. So over the past year, we’ve been offering annual wellness visits and gynecological services exclusively for them.   3️⃣ More than half of people who haven’t given birth say they intend to use their current OBGYN for future deliveries* 4️⃣ We are redesigning maternity care from the ground up - which includes delivering comprehensive support for patients before, during and after pregnancy. 🌟 As of today 🌟, Oula is expanding our gynecological offering for new patients regardless if you’ve given birth with us. From annual wellness visits, to virtual counseling, to immediate in-person care, our multidisciplinary team of midwives and OBGYNs will support patients through every aspect of their health journeys. Oula providers prioritize personal preferences, cultural competency, and a non-judgmental approach to care, ensuring a supportive and inclusive experience for all. Come see us for judgment-free Gynecology, covered by insurance. We’ll focus on your reproductive health while prioritizing all your parts - not just the ones down there 😉.  Learn more at the link below. #WomensHealth #Gynecology #Oula #Oulahealth *Advisory Board - 2019 Women's Service Line Market Trends report https://lnkd.in/g89Zn3SM

Thank you to Anu Duggal for her impactful feature in Fortune today, shedding light on the long-standing neglect and underfunding of women's health, and the shift in attention that is now underway. Honored for Oula and our co-founders, Adrianne Nickerson and Elaine Purcell, to be included alongside visionaries such as Kate Ryder and Maven Clinic, as we champion a transformative approach to maternity care, where patients are at the center. Excited for all that's to come! https://lnkd.in/gq-YWb6n

“We believe that by improving the experience of pregnancy and childbirth, we can improve health outcomes. In the past three years, we’ve delivered 1500 babies — including two of my own — reduced c-sections by 30%, and have 50% fewer preterm births than local and national averages. These statistics prove that our hypothesis is true.” Our Oula Co-founder and COO, Elaine Purcell, spoke with Chasm Partners as part of Chasm Conversations, a series honoring Women’s Health Month, about all things women's healthcare. She touches on her personal journey into healthcare, how Oula is improving the pregnancy and birth experience while improving outcomes, and what she hopes for the future of maternity care.

🌸 Introducing Oula Postpartum Circles: Where we move through the realness of postpartum, together 🌸 LinkedIn Community, There is such powerful conversation on LinkedIn around supporting birth people through pregnancy, leave, and beyond. We’ve seen firsthand - ourselves and through the eyes of Oula families - how beautiful, yet hard and isolating postpartum can be. Because your support system is so critical during this vulnerable time, we couldn’t be more excited to announce the launch of Oula Postpartum Circles, a safe space for new mothers to learn and connect as they experience the beautiful chaos of postpartum. Crafted by Oula experts and led by a postpartum doula, Circles offer an expert-led, 8-week virtual experience with topics designed for the postpartum journey. Members with similar due dates share in weekly virtual gatherings, a connected 24/7 community chat, and have access to the tools and resources that take the loneliness and guesswork out of the fourth trimester. This offering is open to all patients & non-patients due in 2024. We created this experience because moms need moms. Feeling supported and connected to experts and other mothers during the first few weeks after giving birth can change the course of one’s postpartum experience. If this sounds like something you would love to experience - or you know someone in your network who would – click the link below to learn more and spread the word. https://lnkd.in/eyQZUgXT
