Dr. Mitchell Katz addresses the implementation of the doula initiative in Health + Hospitals facilities. He expresses support for the program and outlines how H+H is managing associated costs and training. Key points include:
- Dr. Katz expresses personal support for doulas, citing their positive impact on many women
- H+H has conducted training for the doula program, covered under their existing training budget
- The organization doesn't track doula-related expenses separately, considering them part of normal operational costs
- Dr. Katz views doula training as an important part of H+H's overall staff development efforts
- The approach to doula program implementation suggests integration into existing systems rather than treating it as a separate, additional service

I'm a fan of doulas.
1:06:40
I think that they make a difference for a lot of women.
1:06:45
And we have done training.
1:06:50
We have a training budget, so I don't consider that a separate expense.
1:06:54
We don't track it.
1:06:55
We should be training on those things that are important to train for.
