The United States has the poorest maternal and birth outcomes of all developed countries, with underserved Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities disproportionately affected. Cayaba Care is working to drastically improve the experience of these 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 transforming the delivery of maternity care. Our team builds trust-based engagement and wrap-around support for expectant mothers—at home, in person, and virtually—ensuring they have the social, clinical, and emotional support needed for a joyful pregnancy and postpartum experience. Through the thoughtful use of technology, we meet moms where they are and ensure they never feel alone.

Our Values:

Empathy is at the heart of everything we do—we center the experiences of the mothers and families we serve and support each other as colleagues.
Collaboration makes us stronger—we achieve our greatest impact when we work together, share knowledge, and elevate one another.
Resilience drives us—we adapt to challenges and remain committed to our mission regardless of the obstacles.
