Your Birth, Your Voice: Aetna® & Mama Glow Launch Celebration Breakfast

about this event

Join Aetna® & Mama Glow for a breakfast to celebrate the launch of the Shared Decision Making Toolkit & Fast Company Award.

We’re honored to share that Mama Glow has been recognized by Fast Company as a World Changing Ideas honoree for our Doula Competency Training Program in collaboration with Aetna®. Come experience our Shared Decision Making Toolkit live and meet like-minded individuals committed to advancing maternal health. 

This groundbreaking program equips Aetna® Nurse Care Managers with the tools to better collaborate with doulas—bridging gaps in care, boosting communication, and driving better outcomes for expecting parents. 

Through this collaboration, we’ve accomplished the following:

✔️ Trained over 250 Nurse Care Managers across Medicaid and employer-sponsored insurance 

✔️ Created a Shared Decision-Making Toolkit to support families and Aetna care teams 

✔️ Advanced culturally responsive care in mainstream health systems

✔️ Launched a new Mama Glow site to host the Shared Decision-Making Toolkit

The gathering will feature a light breakfast and moderated panel discussion with:

  • Dr. Miguel Fernandez, Regional Chief Medical Officer at Aetna, a CVS Health Company
  • Dr. Rhonia Brooks-Gordon, Board Certified OB/GYN, FACOG
  • Mnm-Marlyn Menelas, Certified Mama Glow Doula
  • Latham Thomas, Founder, Mama Glow 

Friday, July 18th, 10:00AM-12:00PM

By working with Aetna to integrate education on doula care into care management settings, we’re working toward a future where more families can receive the support they deserve. We’re proud to be driving this shift in collaborative care. Join us!
