Our Mission

DUENOLA provides perinatal and postpartum care for birthing parents and their children in Greater New Orleans, focusing on marginalized communities. We offer support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum - including up to six months of housing and case management to connect families with vital resources.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving New Orleans where every birthing person - especially those too often overlooked - has access to compassionate, community-rooted support before, during, and after birth.
