Expanding our birthing
services in Torrance to
best serve our community
Providence Little Company of Mary now offers a
Doula Support Program for patients
Providence Little Company of Mary is excited to share that we are the
exclusive medical center in the South Bay to offer a Doula Support Program
to our patients. Doulas are an extension of a patients care team. They
provide physical, emotional, and informational support throughout the
birthing process. They do not take the place of their care provider, nurses, or
partner, they are a professional extension in helping families prepare for the
birth they envision and providing hands on support so that they can achieve
their birth goals. When patients want the support of a Birth or Postpartum
Doula, they complete the intake form on our website and begin the
process of finding the care that they want. Nurses and Doulas
make an incredible team of support for our patients.
Midwives as a Care Provider for our patients
Mothers now have another option for delivery
Midwives. Many mothers who are low risk
and often want a more natural birth will
choose a Midwife attended birth. A certified
nurse midwife has the compassionate
understanding of the nurse's role, knows
when to reach out to the OB/GYN physicians,
when birth dictates. Nurse midwives will help
us to ensure our patients feel empowered
throughout their care with us, they become
lifelong heath partners and return for
subsequent births and care for the entire family.
