About Us:

The United States has the poorest maternal and birth outcomes of all developed countries with underserved, Black, Brown, Indigenous communities disproportionately affected. Cayaba Care is working to drastically improve the experience of affected communities by reimagining how we deliver meaningful and compassionate care to expectant moms.

Cayaba Care’s mission is to improve pregnancy, birth and the postpartum journey for women and their families by reimagining how maternity care is delivered. Our team is focused on building trust-based engagement and wrap-around support for expectant moms at home, in person and virtually, to ensure they have all the social support they need for a successful and joyful pregnancy journey. We leverage technology to support our virtual engagement that allows us to meet all our moms where they are.

We ensure that our members do not feel alone during their pregnancy journey, and that they have a trusted resource for support, resources, and information throughout their pregnancy, delivery and well into postpartum. Cayaba Care does not replace the primary obstetrician or doctor’s relationships. Instead, we support expectant mothers with all other support services that are traditionally not available through their doctors’ offices.

Our Values:

• Empathy is at the heart of everything we do. We must always center the experiences of the mothers and families we serve, as well as support and uplift one another.
• Collaboration is what makes us stronger. We achieve the greatest impact when we work together, share knowledge, and elevate each other’s strengths.
• Resilience reflects our ability to push through challenges, adapt in a fast-changing environment, and remain committed to our mission no matter the obstacles.
