The doula is Black and her services were covered by Medicaid — a benefit Virginia started offering in 2022.

“I really did want somebody else to just help advocate, especially since with women of color, the mortality rates are higher. So I was like, ‘anything can happen,’” she said. “My family members never had good experiences up here at these doctors’ offices, even just for regular appointments.”In the state to the South, immigration status can complicate health care.
