Exciting News: Oula Opens New Maternity Clinic
Oula provided by Stamford Health has recently unveiled its new maternity clinic in Norwalk, aiming to meet the growing demand for midwifery services. This marks an important collaboration between Oula and Stamford Health, offering a unique midwife-led care model integrated with high-quality maternity services. The addition of this clinic highlights the commitment to enhancing maternity care options available to families in the region.
Addressing the Rising Demand for Maternity Care
Every year, Stamford Hospital sees about 2,400 births. With an increasing interest in midwifery care, Oula's recent survey indicates that nearly 80% of women are looking for a maternity care model that combines both midwives and obstetricians. The new Norwalk clinic aims to provide this integrated, person-centered maternity care, specifically catering to the needs of families in Fairfield County.
Creating a Comfortable Environment for Patients
The newly established clinic features thoughtfully designed exam rooms and inviting waiting areas equipped with nutritious snacks and well-chosen resources. The focus is on creating a welcoming atmosphere to ensure that patients feel at ease during their maternity journey. Offering a full range of services from preconception to postpartum, the clinic is staffed with a dedicated team of midwives and OB-GYNs ready to support families through every stage of parenting.
Innovative Healthcare Services Available
In addition to in-person care, the Norwalk clinic provides telehealth services, 24/7 virtual support, expert resources, and insightful workshops—creating a robust digital community for patients. Not only is gynecological care included, but patients can also count on robust maternal care, ensuring comprehensive support as they navigate their healthcare options.
Commitment to Collaborative Healthcare
Stamford Health’s President and CEO, Kathleen Silard, emphasized the importance of collaboration with high-quality organizations for patient care. She stated, "Our patients expect and deserve a variety of care options. This new clinic will expand access and enable patients to benefit from innovative and high-quality midwifery care choices throughout their prenatal and postpartum journeys." This sentiment reflects the core values that drive effective healthcare services.
State-of-the-Art Facilities Awaiting Patients
Patients at Oula will exclusively deliver at Stamford Hospital, where they will have access to a multidisciplinary team, including nurses, hospitalists, and neonatologists trained in maternal-fetal medicine. Stamford Hospital has recently invested in a significant renovation to the Whittingham Pavilion, home to essential mother-baby services and enhanced facilities tailored for maternal care. The emphasis is on patient comfort, with private maternity rooms and a flexible visitor policy to accommodate families.
Expert Team With Proven Results
Oula's approach combines Stamford Health's extensive experience in maternity care with innovative methodologies that have consistently produced excellent patient outcomes. Since the opening of their Brooklyn clinic in 2021, Oula has accomplished more than 2,500 births, demonstrating a strong performance in key maternal health indicators, such as a remarkable lowering of preterm birth and cesarean rates. This upcoming Norwalk clinic is part of a broader strategy to increase access to integrated maternity care services in Connecticut.

Oula provided by Stamford Health accepts most major insurance plans, including Medicaid, allowing for greater access to quality maternity care for families. This commitment ensures that more individuals can receive comprehensive support tailored to their specific needs.
