Summary
The bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to create a pilot program offering up to ten doula sessions per pregnant veteran, integrated into the VA’s Whole Health model. It targets women veterans who use VA health care, aiming to improve birth outcomes and mental‑health recovery after delivery. By testing the service in selected regions, the VA will gather data to decide if doula support should become a permanent benefit.
