A shared standard your referrals can trust
Hospitals, health plans, and community organizations increasingly field questions about doula and newborn-care support. A public, independently governed standard gives you a consistent way to understand and reference training quality.
Built for the systems around families
Whether you refer, reimburse, or run community programs, a verifiable standard reduces guesswork.
Hospitals & health systems
Reference a public competency framework in discharge planning and postpartum follow-up referrals.
Payers & benefit teams
Understand what "trained" means across providers; support benefit design with neutral, published criteria.
Community organizations
Point families to professionals whose training maps to a transparent, publicly reviewable standard.
Early institutional partners
AUREA works with hospitals, plans, and community groups that want a neutral standard rather than a vendor-led one. Partners help inform the framework through transparent review.
