HealthConnect One is a nonprofit organization based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 1986. It centers the community-based doula as a trusted peer who supports families through pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and the early months of parenting, and it works to expand this workforce and integrate community-based care into health systems. The organization operates across 27 states and more than 100 communities, focusing on workforce development, maternal health policy, and collaboration with hospitals and health systems. Its approach relies on neighborhood assets, providing training and technical assistance to frontline organizations while fostering grassroots consensus to inform policy and practice at the national level, with care rooted in dignity, equity, and trust. In 2025 HealthConnect One launched doula training programs with community-based organizations in multiple states, reflecting an ongoing effort to broaden access to community-based birth support.
