Transforming maternal and infant health with BCBS Illinois

Delfina is thrilled to announce our partnership with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) on the Special Beginnings® Maternal and Infant Health Initiative. The collaboration will bring Delfina Care to moms and families in Illinois. The goal of our partnership with BCBSIL is to measurably improve maternal and infant morbidity and mortality with proactive care powered by our proprietary algorithms and led by our Delfina Doulas. We are grateful for this opportunity to bring lifesaving proactive pregnancy care to Illinois with BCBSIL and other partner organizations across the state.

Maternal Health in Illinois

According to Illinois’ latest maternal mortality review report, 91% of pregnancy-related deaths were preventable. There are also pervasive disparities in maternal health in Illinois, with Black women being twice as likely to die from any pregnancy-related condition as white women. The report suggests that pregnancy care can be bolstered by addressing chronic health conditions like cardiovascular disease and hypertension, obesity, and mental health conditions. BCBSIL's investment of $8 million into community organizations highlights the urgency of improving health outcomes for mothers and infants. At the forefront of this initiative is Delfina’s intelligent doula-led pregnancy care system, designed to empower families and enhance the overall pregnancy experience.

Whole-person care with Delfina

Delfina’s pregnancy care platform, Delfina Care, leverages technology to advance maternal health. Delfina provides comprehensive pregnancy care by integrating virtual doula support with remote monitoring, easy referrals to telehealth providers, and machine learning-optimized early interventions.

Delfina believes that the current standard of pregnancy care is letting down moms and babies around the country. With Delfina Care, members and providers are empowered by a connected care system. Providers are more connected to their patients through continuous updates that pull from multiple data sources to deliver actionable patient insights through Delfina’s provider dashboard. Members gain more personalized touchpoints with their entire care team compared to the standard prenatal appointment schedule.

Spotlight: the Delfina Doulas

Our Delfina Doulas are bilingual, community-based, and experienced in providing vital support to members whenever needed. Our Delfina Doulas provide three main pillars of support:

  1. Personalized Care: Each Doula tailors their approach to the members’ unique needs and preferences, creating a nurturing environment free from judgment. Delfina Doulas also live in the same communities as our members and provide culturally competent, community-based virtual care.
  2. Education and Resources: Delfina Doulas provide valuable information about birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum care, equipping members with the knowledge they need to feel empowered in their pregnancy and postpartum journeys.
  3. Virtual Access: Delfina Doulas are a virtual resource—members can send them a secure text 24/7 or schedule a call using the Delfina Care app at a convenient time. 

Join Us in Creating Safe, Supported Pregnancies for All 

Delfina’s partnership with BCBSIL is rooted in a shared commitment to improving health equity. 

By focusing on underserved communities and providing accessible care, we aim to reduce health disparities and ensure that all mothers have the resources they need for a healthy pregnancy and postpartum experience.
