Below is an abstract of Dr. Isgro's presentation.<br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Birth, full spectrum and end-of-life doulas are serving an important role in healthcare, both
in terms of patient-family support and health outcomes. Birth and post-partum doulas
emerged in the United States in the 1960s in an effort to increase the agency of pregnant
women and reduce unnecessary medical interventions. Additionally, end-of-life and death
doulas are becoming increasingly common in palliative and hospice care. Studying the
larger doula movements in the United States from a relationship-centered communication
perspective offers a lens into the everyday lived experiences of those facing life and death
scenarios and the role communication plays in these scenarios.<br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div class="gmail_default"><font face="arial, sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(60,64,67);letter-spacing:0.2px;white-space:pre-wrap">Join Zoom Meeting
