According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the maternal mortality rate is three times higher for Black patients than white patients. Data shows that improving maternal and newborn health is especially important in reducing health disparities.
Our maternal health solution provides on-demand support for pregnancy, postpartum, and loss. Eligible commercial members have access to a digital platform that offers 24/7 live chat with advocates, including certified and licensed doulas, midwives, and nurses, as well as online community support and relevant, evidence-based education.

More than 1 million women in the United States experience menopause each year. In addition to physical effects, menopause can come with career and economic impacts. Mass General Brigham Health Plan has responded with an innovative approach to supporting women through their menopause journeys. Our digital solution provides research-backed expertise and personalized coaching alongside peer support to help women thrive during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond.
“Our approaches to meeting a variety of under-addressed women’s health needs acknowledge that women’s health extends beyond maternal health alone,” said Lindsay Jubelt, MD, MS, Chief Population Health Officer, Mass General Brigham, and Chief Medical Officer, Mass General Brigham Health Plan. “We are offering innovative programs that meet women wherever they are at different stages of life to break down barriers and connect them to critical resources and community support.”
