Doula Training to Be Held in Boyne City in May 2023
Pregnant individuals and their families in Michigan have a new birthing option that is covered by Medicaid as of Jan. 1, 2023 - doula services. Michigan Medicaid insurance will now cover different types of doula services, including community-based doulas, prenatal doulas, labor and birth doulas, and postpartum doulas.
Savanah Cool, Director of the Great Start Collaborative and Parent Coalition of Charlevoix, Emmet, and Northern Antrim Counties, said doula services are another avenue for helping to ensure maternal and infant health, meeting one of the GSC’s core objectives to increase the chances that children are born healthy.
To meet the expected need for additional doulas in Northern Michigan, the collaborative will be hosting a doula training series in May 2023. A doula is a non-clinical, trained professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to pregnant individuals during the prenatal, labor and delivery, and postpartum periods.

Pet of The Week - Dre!
They have named me Dre, but I'm not a doctor. I was very timid when I first arrived here, it's very intimidating. I have grown accustomed to the noise and other dogs, and have started to act my goofy self. I’ve been here at the shelter now for almost 6 months and I’ve really grown to love the staff and don’t even mind the other dogs, though I don’t get along with many of the other male dogs. I don’t mind cats, honestly they freak me out just a bit so I tend to avoid them. I came in as a stray, so the staff doesn’t know a whole lot about my past, but it’s pretty safe to say I haven’t had much training, they do seem to think I am housebroken though so that’s a plus! I know some basic commands, like “sit” and “down” but when I get too excited I tend to forgot my manners. I promise I’m willing to learn if you will teach me! I love going on walks, though I get a little antsy when we have to stop and I bet I would do great in a car too! Won’t you give me a chance? I’m ready for a cozy couch and my very own human to snuggle, I promise I’ll be a good boy!
