Doula Day at the state capitol; January 29, 2026; recognize

HR 1142 is a symbolic resolution recognizing January 29, 2026, as "Doula Day" at the Georgia state capitol. It honors doulas - non-clinical support providers who assist pregnant, birthing, and postpartum individuals - and highlights specific Georgia doulas and agencies (like YS Doula Services and The Susie King Taylor Foundation) that offer community-based care. The resolution does not create new laws, funding, or policy changes but serves as a ceremonial acknowledgment of doulas' role in improving maternal health outcomes. It was unanimously passed by the Georgia House of Representatives on January 28, 2026.
