In the second installment of our special maternal health series, we continue the conversation with Dr. Erin Graham, Deputy Executive Director at the National Nurse-Led Care Consortium. Erin shares how her public health background and deep ties to community nursing helped shape a doula training initiative that empowers former Nurse-Family Partnership clients to become doulas.
We discuss how client feedback and nurse insight sparked a two-part approach: offering doula services and training former clients to provide culturally responsive care. Erin highlights the value of partnerships, the importance of workforce diversity, and how community-based efforts like this can improve maternal health outcomes and expand career opportunities.
Dr. Erin Graham is a family nurse practitioner and Deputy Executive Director at the National Nurse‑Led Care Consortium, with a rich background in public‑health nursing and home visiting. She now leads initiatives in doula training, maternal care integration, and expanding culturally responsive support in underserved communities. Erin Graham, DNP, FNP-BC, IBCLC
