Why do I need more care?
The Stark Reality
What’s Included?
Our nurses are Registered Nurses (RNs) trained and experienced in maternal health and wellness. They have a unique set of skills and expertise to care for postpartum mothers. They’re passionate about taking care of mothers in the 4th trimester.
We require our nurses to complete a background check and to maintain certifications in CPR and BLS.
Our RNs are not postpartum doulas. RNs provide clinical care and doulas provide non-clinical care.
We come to you. Our nurses will nurture and support you in the comfort of your home.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends:
- To optimize the health of women and infants, postpartum care should become an ongoing process, rather than a single encounter, with services and support tailored to each woman’s individual needs.
- All women should ideally have contact with a maternal care provider within the first 3 weeks postpartum.
Our program is a self-pay service. Insurance does not pay for postpartum nurse home care services. Our program is the best investment for you, your baby and family.
