Vanessa Caldari founded Mujeres Ayudando Madres because she I realized that midwifery care, especially in Puerto Rico, was really for people with access to the finances and the education to have that care. She didn't want midwifery care to be a privilege, so she did something about it.
Vanessa Caldari is the founder of Mujeres Ayudando Madres, a nonprofit in Puerto Rico that supports birthing people from gestation to parenthood and helps them make informed birthing decisions.
Today's episode is hosted by Leslie deRosset, implementation specialist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she works on maternal health child projects housed at Gillings School of Global Public Health.
