The Millie Clinic will open in West San Jose to provide holistic maternity care focusing on the needs of mothers, contrasting with traditional systems that prioritize delivery. It pairs women with doulas and nurse midwives, offering a range of services while partnering with Good Samaritan Hospital for deliveries. Notably, East San Jose has faced healthcare accessibility issues, particularly after the closure of the Regional Medical Center's obstetric services. Some women may face challenges traveling across town for services, highlighting the need for accessible care options in underserved areas.
People navigate early pregnancy without actually any support or care. The lack of more continuous care both during pregnancy and in the postpartum period ends up creating significant care gaps and more poor outcomes.
I think when people are looking to access the care that they need, they are very resourceful in getting (it), but it is always good to have care in a way that is very accessible where you live.
