About the company

Oula Health provides maternity care that blends obstetrics and midwifery into a single, hospital-based model centered on the patient. The care works by pairing obstetrics and midwifery teams, following evidence-based protocols, offering longer visits, and providing 24/7 access between appointments, with billing handled through insurance (including Medicaid) and support from financial counseling. It differentiates itself by combining OB and midwifery, delivering more personalized attention, and prioritizing accessibility and transparency in care. The goal is to offer compassionate, individualized, evidence-based maternity care that sits between traditional OB and midwifery while remaining financially accessible.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Charlotte launched June 2026; Oula entered its third U.S. market and first Southeast foothold.
  • Norwalk opened September 2025, and Stamford plans a second Connecticut clinic in 2026.
  • Modern Healthcare named Oula a 2025 Best in Business honoree in January 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Oula faces two malpractice suits, including a May 2025 case alleging C-section negligence.
  • Those claims attack its core safety promise and can scare hospitals like Mount Sinai.
  • No new disclosed capital followed the $28 million Series B, forcing cash-hungry expansion.

What makes Oula unique

  • Oula combines midwives and obstetricians inside hospital-affiliated pathways, unlike solo midwife practices.
  • Novant Health chose Oula for Charlotte in June 2026, validating its operator model.
  • Oula accepts Medicaid and major commercial plans, widening access across New York and Connecticut.
