General Information
P.U.S.H. is an organization dedicated to transforming systems of care to drive better outcomes in women's and perinatal health. Formerly known as PUSH Birth Partners®, our mission is to support women and families throughout pregnancy and beyond by providing integrative care models and building authentic community partnerships.
The 2026–2029 Strategic Plan is a blueprint for transformation, renewal, and future vision. It emphasizes growth, sustainability, and influence by expanding and enhancing our core programs in three main areas: Change Advocacy, Person-Centered Care, and Training & Workforce Development.
Our mission is to transform systems to drive better outcomes in women’s and perinatal health, aiming for lasting change across generations. Our vision is for a world where every woman, child, and family flourishes through safe, supported, and transformative birth experiences.
Key Areas
Change Advocacy involves using data-driven research to influence the standard of care and improve perinatal health outcomes. We prioritize evidence-based strategies in collaboration with community stakeholders to drive impactful advocacy and transformational progress.
Person-Centred Care at P.U.S.H. provides holistic support for at-risk families. Community Health Workers (CHWs) and doulas work together to deliver comprehensive outreach and support, ensuring care is tailored to the unique needs of each family.
P.U.S.H. expands public health workforce capabilities by offering specialized perinatal health certification and continuing education for CHWs, doulas, and care economy providers. Our Pathways to PUSH® initiative includes innovative, tech-enabled training and certification programs to build scalable and evidence-based capacity.
Target Populations
We primarily support:
- Economically disadvantaged pregnant women facing barriers to care
- Women experiencing high-risk pregnancies needing specialized support
- Families seeking emotional support and advocacy during the perinatal journey
Our services are designed to address disparities, provide holistic support, and promote access
to quality care for all families, regardless of background.
Accessibility is a foundational principle at P.U.S.H. We ensure everyone has access to good health and well-being, regardless of their zip code or background. Our programs specifically target gaps in care and outcomes, especially for under-resourced communities.
P.U.S.H. provides advocacy and emotional support services to address maternal mental health care gaps. We help families overcome obstacles to getting appropriate care, fostering well-being throughout pregnancy and beyond.
