Company founded
1996
The Community Doula Program (CDP) was founded in 1996 by Nadia Stein with a seed grant from the March of Dimes, as a result of studies she helped coordinate in the late 80's , which showed improved birthing results when women received emotional support from a Doula (JAMA 1991; 265:2197-2201) . Ms. Stein recognized the pivotal need for such services for teens and their babies, and the March of Dimes seeded the program.
