NovoKind
About NovoKind
Maternal care deserts are one of America’s most urgent, underserved crises. 35% of U.S. counties have no access to maternity care, affecting 2.3 million women and families who travel 50+ miles for basic perinatal support.
NovoKind is building the first provider-first virtual perinatal care platform specifically designed for the families left behind: rural communities, underserved counties, and regions where nurses, lactation consultants, doulas, and therapists are simply not available.
Our platform brings together IBCLCs, LCSWs, registered dietitians, doulas, nurses, pelvic-floor therapists, and more, creating
one integrated support system
that families can finally rely on.
NovoKind does what traditional maternal care cannot: 24/7 access to lactation, perinatal, and newborn support Multi-specialty clinicians all in one place Inclusive care for all family structures, including LGBTQ+ families Culturally competent support designed for marginalized communities Built for long-term continuity from pregnancy to postpartum
Traditional maternal care systems weren’t designed for these families. We are.
Why Maternal Care Deserts Matter
The current system leaves millions without essential care, causing: Higher maternal mortality Severe gaps in lactation support Increased postpartum depression Poor newborn outcomes Fragmented pathways between OBs, nurses, doulas, and pediatric care
We’re fixing this by building the
most accessible, most inclusive, and most affordable
maternal support network ever launched.
