Former First Daughter, global health advocate and venture capitalist Chelsea Clinton is promoting the start-up company Oula, a midwife-centered maternity clinic that provides “a middle ground approach to birth and pregnancy care” located in Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York. Oula delivers personalized care to reduce emergency C-sections and preterm birth rates.
At a recent event with Oula co-founder and COO Elaine Purcell, Clinton delivered the startling statistic “that women delivering today are 50% more likely to die in childbirth or from childbirth-related complications than our own mothers were,” with the crisis disproportionately affecting Black and brown women.
Clinton continues to promote Oula by amplifying the recent article in The Guardian, ‘Can midwifery startups change our broken maternity care?’
The article includes an interview with Oula patient Taylor-Rey J’Vera, who identifies as a Black and Puerto Rican plus-sized, non-binary lesbian. They became pregnant with their first child in 2021. When J’Vera was referred to Oula and learned that the primary practitioners were midwives, they admitted to imagining “people sitting in a ‘kumbaya’ circle while ladies are screaming their head off,” according to The Guardian.
J’Vera’s preconceived notions were dispelled when they arrived at Oula for their first appointment. J’Vera said she was impressed with the office’s aesthetics — a “Gwyneth Paltrow vibe” (interior design featuring beige, cream and muted pinks), and felt welcomed by the midwife who asked J’Vera for their pronoun.
[Note: In October 2021, J’Vera gave birth to a son, River.]
Since 2019, Purcell and Oula co-founder and CEO Adrianne Nickerson have raised $22.3 million in venture capital. Earlier this year, Oula was included in Fast Company‘s 10 Most Innovative Healthcare Companies in 2023.
BTW, below is one decor winner Paltrow’s GOOP recommends, for comparison.

This woman is too stupid to breathe.
had to read that twice and then make sure it wasn’t the bee.
After reading your post I actually went back & read it. It puts the🐝 to shame. Like Hillary, Chelsea will never ever go away either.
Don’t they mean Chelsea Hubble. Right?
As long as she doesn’t run for office I don’t care.
Col. Sanders, chicken vetrinary clinic.
Obviously, Paltrow’s vagina-scented candles will be in use.
I’m shocked that she would invest in a place where a baby at least has a chance to live.
I’d have expected she would invest in a a chain of ‘abortiontariums’.

US maternal death rate rose sharply in 2021, CDC data shows, and experts worry the problem is getting worse

Hubble’s statistics may be off, but maternal deaths are definitely going up .... it’s not COVID, it’s the jabs that the OBs were talking pregnant women into taking.
Anyone posting a picture of “the ugly one” should be required to donate $1000 to FR.
How many wasted tax dollars went here? You know it will close after the grants are all laundered.

I thought the only health she was worried about was the financial health of the Clinton Global Initiative
Funny how the ‘champions of the people’ always become wealthy elitists who funnel funds from their own ‘foundations’. Liberal is a synonym for phony.
