Delighted to Doula Birth Services
Delighted to Doula Birth Services aims to eliminate maternal mortality and address racial disparities in infant mortality in Collin County through education and postpartum support. Their program, Goal366 focuses on professional assistance, education, and supplies to ensure the success and safety of every mother and child.
