The services will include e-consult and telehealth capabilities specialized for women who have high-risk conditions, according to a July 12 press release from UNC Health. 

The service will serve rural community health centers and aims to support community doula training and the development of a community doula collaborative. 

The project was made possible by a $1.75 million grant to Piedmont Health from the Health Resources and Services Administration.
