About

Setting a New Standard for Maternal Care

WE’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT ADVANCING MATERNAL HEALTH CARE

Our Vision

We picture a future where all birthing people will receive equitable, timely maternal care, and feel supported and empowered through their pregnancy and postpartum journey.
So we built MyLÚA Health.

Our Why

Far too many birthing people experience pain, neglect, and loss during what should be one of the most beautiful times of their lives.And for some birthing people, the risk is much higher.Black and Native American birthing people experience maternal mortality and morbidity at significantly higher rates than their White counterparts, regardless of income or education level.
By solving for the toughest problems in our system, we ensure everyone is included in the narrative.

Our Promise

MyLÚA Health is committed to decreasing the rates of maternal mortality and morbidity, reducing the disparities in maternal health outcomes, and improving the overall experience during and after pregnancy for birthing people.
Our mission is to reduce maternal mortality and advance health equity through inclusive data collection, personalized patient education, and interventional care measures.

A Digital Maternal Health Advocate, At Your Fingertips

Because every parent deserves to feel supported during pregnancy, and beyond.
