The Texas Association of
Hospital Auxiliaries, Inc. has
284 member hospitals with
over 28,000 active members
who donated over 5.2 million
hours over the last year. The
Auxiliary of the Trinity
Mother Frances Health System
currently has over 200 active
volunteers who donate a total
of 40,000 hours each year to
caring for others.
The Texas Perinatal
Association has also honored
the Doula Volunteer Program
with the William Tinney
Award for Innovations in
Perinatal Healthcare.
The Doula Volunteer
Program was initially
established in 1993 to provide
emotional support to single
teenage mothers. Volunteers
were seen as a vital member of
the healthcare team, freeing up
the nursing staff to focus her
energies upon clinical
responsibilities while the
Doula remained focused on die
young mother, helping her
with breathing techniques and
other comfort measures during
labor. The Doula Volunteer
Program has expanded its
initial role to include provision
of services to any woman
during labor who would benefit
from a volunteer labor coach.
Serving an area of Texas
known to have one of the
highest teen pregnancy rates in
the state, Trinity Mother
Frances Health System
initiated the volunteer program
to provide trained labor coaches
or Doulas for this patient
population. Many of the
teenagers who presented in
labor did not have adequate
family support and were not
emotionally prepared for the
physical phases of childbirth.
The Doula program brought
in volunteers who could
provide continuous emotional
and physical support to these
young mothers, resulting in
improved fetal and maternal
outcomes, a decrease in the C-
section rate, and a positive
birth experience. Medical costs
are decreased with the
involvement of Doulas.
Preliminary statistics show a
15 to 16 percent C-section rate
at Mother Frances Hospital as
opposed to the 25 percent
average rate. In addition, there
is a decreased need for
anesthesia and analgesics with
the involvement of a volunteer
who is able to provide
continuous emotional and
physical support to a young
mother in labor.
"From women who now are
grandmothers to women who
nave recently experienced
childbirth themselves,
volunteers are enthusiastic,
committed and extremely
generous with their time,
states Cindy Kidwell, Director
of Volunteer Services at
Trinity Mother Frances Health
System. "A caring word, a
knowing touch, a friendship
created...Doulas "mother new
mothers" and make a difference
in the life of an infant and his
new world."

Mother Frances Health System
